Quintessential New England Colonial in Burnham Farms. This classic center entrance plays to its positives. Phenomenal curb appeal as the house curves with the road and is set back from the street on an acre lot with a private backyard. Painted a cheery yellow, this home shines in the greenery around it. Step inside the back to front living room with a wall of built-in shelving along the far wall and a fireplace. Step into your study or music room with an abundance of natural light. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet and chair rail, with classic swinging doors into the kitchen. A fourth bedroom and half bath finish this floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, master has a walk-in closet plus “his” closet. A finished basement, walk-up attic or expansion space over garage leaves plenty of storage or room for your dreams. A dog run or tot lot already in place out back in flat grass yard. Currently Fiske and Diamond school district, this one wins on a lot of levels.
