This elegantly updated Colonial seamlessly blends timeless architecture with the ease of modern living. Spanning over 4,800 square feet, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence offers an exceptional floor plan suited for both entertaining and everyday comfort. The sun-filled first floor flows from a formal living room and gracious dining room into a chef's kitchen that opens effortlessly to a sunken family room with wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings, and custom built-ins. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a true retreat, while three additional bedrooms and two full baths offer space and flexibility for family and guests alike. Above the garage you'll find the fifth bedroom, complete with en suite full bath - the perfect flex space for work, exercise, guests, or all of the above!
