Set back from the road on 2.77 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this attractive 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath Twisted Colonial offers a perfect blend of charm and modern comfort. The property features classic stone walls, a gently flowing brook, and a small pond, all complemented by a sweeping lawn with serene pastoral views. Inside, the home boasts a spacious and inviting layout, including a front-to-back living room and a cozy family room-both with fireplaces-creating warm, welcoming spaces for relaxation and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen is enhanced by granite countertops, a new stainless steel refrigerator and the formal dining room by wide board floors, while sliders from the family room open to a 12' x 16' deck and brick patio overlooking the private backyard. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms include a bright and generously sized primary suite with its own bath. Additional highlights include first-floor laundry, wood six-panel doors, ceramic tile flooring, an unfinished basement with a cedar closet, and energy-efficient systems including a Viessmann three-zone boiler and Weil-McLain indirect water heater and new hatchway doors. Completing the property are an attached two-car garage, a 12' x 16' Kloter Farms shed, a brick walkway leading to a covered front porch, and a new architectural roof scheduled for installation (Mon. 3/30), making this home as practical as it is picturesque.
