Perched atop 1.89 estate-like acres, this storybook Colonial-style home has 4 BRs/2.1 BAs & 2576 sq ft (not including its screen porch). Built in 1968, and owned only by one family, this updated & move-in ready Racebrook Hills home is charming, warm and subtly elegant. With refinished hardwood floors throughout, the home has many tasteful finishes such as crown molding and wainscoting. The newer kitchen is a chef’s dream with antique white country cabinetry, granite counters and center island (w/seating), two ovens, new electric stove-top, and a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV. The adjacent sunlight-filled family room w/its cathedral ceiling & exposed wood beams has a relaxed Ralph Lauren-style country feel. A walk-in fireplace w/wood burning stove and large bookcases w/lower cabinets complete the library look. The formal dining room has two built-in china cabinets, a chandelier and beautiful French doors that open to the brick patio and magnificent backyard. Adjourn to the living room, with windows overlooking the backyard, with a fireplace flanked by arched book cases. Upstairs, each of the 4 bedrooms are large and there is a 5th room perfect for study/office. All bathrooms, including the Master bathroom, have been stylishly updated. Lastly, the home has 2 new garage doors, a new oil tank, some new windows, and has been well-maintained. The grounds, which include an in-ground gunite pool, are beautiful and have been the perfect setting for 2 family weddings.
