Situated at the top of Paradise Preserve sits this immaculately maintained country charmer. Enjoy your own private "Vermont" retreat with the benefit of highways, shopping & universities only minutes away. Property was originally owned by A. C. Gilbert. This expanded cape sits on a fabulous lot with mature trees. The first floor boasts a large family room with fireplace, skylights and a bay window with window seat. The remodeled kitchen with tile floor and backsplash opens to the spacious dining room. The formal living room includes a fireplace with built-ins, crown molding and recessed lighting. Also included on the main level is an oversized rec room with half bath (4th bedroom) and access to the backyard. This space could be a first floor master bedroom, in-law space, day-care area or a home office with its exterior private access. There is also a first floor full bath. Three generously sized bedrooms and a meticulously maintained full bathroom complete the 2nd floor. Brick patio overlooks the private backyard with beautiful laurel bushes and a detached 2 car garage with additional storage. Close to QU, Hospitals and Yale. Call for your private showing.
