Take everything you think about a colonial and rethink it...clean lines combined with modern comfort. Stunning dark stained hardwood floors bring you into the open concept living room, anchored with a beautiful built-in shelved wall. The family room, featuring a gas fireplace and French doors which lead out to the patio and backyard, flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen with an incredible quartz topped island. A formal dining room and conveniently placed laundry and powder room round out the main level, while up the staircase are more of the dark stained hardwoods, along with the 4 bedrooms, plus a hall bath. Contemporary gallery lighting accentuates the main hallway. The master suite has everything you could ask for...including a luxurious en suite bath with free standing soaking tub and separate tiled shower. The basement is fully insulated and ready for finishing off...a home gym or screening room perhaps? A 13 zone sprinkler system keeps the lawn lush.
