Nestled on a quiet street adjacent to the scenic park at Linden Square, this meticulously maintained raised colonial has been owned and cared for by the same family for over 20 years. The living room offers picturesque views of Linden Square and is bathed with natural light, enhancing the open and airy layout. The home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths (two fully redone), and 2 half baths, along with a beautifully updated kitchen that includes a custom stove and eating nook, plus a large formal dining room with a gas fireplace. The rear deck and patio, with surrounding trees offering privacy and serenity, are perfect for summertime cookouts and leisurely afternoons. Additional highlights include a designated office space and a playroom on the top level of the home, as well as a finished basement perfect for a game room or home gym with ample storage and easy access to the driveway. With two off-street parking spaces and close proximity to eateries, public transportation, and downtown!
