About this home

A prime central -- and tranquil -- location. Here is a rare best-of-both-worlds modern take on this Follen Hill classic Colonial! Updates include 2016 standing seam roof and central air. In 2017, the full bath was renovated, adding a tiled shower stall. Also that year, contemporary clean-lined windows replaced the older ones, and a few more were added, filling the newly painted rooms with natural light. The hardwood floors were just refinished, adding brilliance and warmth. A front-to-back living room is centered on a sleek fireplace and opens to a three-season side porch, and a rear heated addition that has walls of windows overlooking a Zen-like moss and stone garden. A few steps lead to a nicely sized back yard. The kitchen also was bumped out and features an island with a gas cooktop range and double wall ovens. The first floor also has a dining room+ a bedroom/office addition. The master bedroom is also front-to-back and has two generous closets. Close to Wilson's & the bike path.
