About this home
Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom Colonial, where classic character meets thoughtful updates and exceptional indoor/outdoor living. A welcoming covered front porch opens to an interior filled with gleaming hardwood floors, rich original woodwork and period details. The inviting living room is centered around a fireplace, while the spacious dining room features a built-in hutch and sliders opening directly to a newer deck. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, abundant white cabinetry, tile flooring and a charming breakfast nook. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and a beautifully tiled full bath. Additional bonus space on the third floor offers flexibility for a home office, playroom or hobby space. The finished lower level with half bath provides even more room for entertaining, recreation, fitness or everyday living. Outside, enjoy your own private retreat with a fenced backyard, expansive decking, above-ground pool, patio, mature landscaping and impressive stone grill/fireplace area. Owned solar panels installed in 2022, a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery storage system and EV charging station provide valuable energy-conscious upgrades. Off-street parking completes the package. Seller has an assumable VA loan that may offer qualified buyers favorable financing terms compared with current market rates.
