Classic 1989 Colonial, convenient to Brooklyn Center, with the best of both worlds: rural privacy & country living but close to everyday conveniences. Spanning 4-bedrooms, 2.5-bathrooms, this home delivers a functional floor plan with room to spread out. Enter from the two car garage into a sunroom with tons of natural light from sliders & skylights, ideal for plant lovers but also offering a necessary area for boots, coats, & backpacks. First floor offers an eat-in kitchen w/ granite countertops, stainless appliances, & bar seating; a formal dining room; a living room w/ wood-burning fireplace; & an additional flex room ideal for a playroom or office. The first floor is rounded off with a half bath & first-floor laundry. Upstairs, a primary suite offers a full bathroom & walk in closet, alongside three additional bedrooms & full bath. The partially finished basement adds a rec room & playroom or office plus plenty of storage space. A brand new septic system (2023) is the kind of big-ticket update that gives buyers peace of mind. Outside, a covered patio, a massive level yard, mature trees, paved driveway, & two sheds complete the picture. Route 6 & I-395 are minutes away, putting PVD, Worcester, & Hartford all within range. Brooklyn schools, the historic Brooklyn Fairgrounds, Blackwell Brook Trail, shops & restaurants are all located just down the road. Private enough that you can't see your neighbors, close enough that a forgotten gallon of milk is a 5-minute fix.
