About this home

Pristine 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Colonial-style home in Benton Estates. Four finished levels offer both formal space and private retreats and wonderful places to gather, indoors and out. The traditional living room and dining room both feature bay windows. The expanded kitchen has a center island, plentiful storage and counter space, plus a breakfast bay overlooking the beautiful private fenced yard. Surrounded by windows and nature, the adjacent sunroom is filled with fabulous light and offers a versatile space to tailor to your lifestyle. Outside, a large bluestone patio is set within a professionally designed garden with mature plantings and multi-zone irrigation system. Recent updates include central air, roof, exterior and interior painting, cobble stone retaining walls, exterior lighting, blown-in insulation and fence.
