The beautifully updated, open-concept kitchen offers a huge breakfast bar island, gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and granite counters. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room with a wood-burning fireplace as French doors spill out to the large backyard and patio. Cozy up with a second fireplace in the versatile playroom with large windows for nature views. A spacious bedroom suite above the garage offers a private master or guest suite with a cathedral ceiling, two sets of double closets, and office. The family bedrooms, including an alternate master suite with adjoining office, are spacious, each with an en suite bathroom. The finished lower level offers a game/media room, exercise space, and bathroom. Walk to town center, bike path, and schools.
This Colonial style home has been renovated with a open concept living addition. The original home has smaller rooms with nice detail and the secondary bedrooms/baths. The newer addition has an open concept kitchen and living space with the master...
bedroom above. The amount of light and windows are fantastic. Large private yard.
