Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of the sought-after Highlands area, this Hip Roof Colonial offers a tranquil setting. The hallway is adorned with beautiful gumwood wainscoting, which extends into the spacious living room, featuring a fireplace and wood moldings. Adjacent to the living room, the home office is framed by French doors and a large window, providing abundant natural light and views of mature trees. The dining room seamlessly transitions into the kitchen, which boasts a granite-topped island with seating, pendant lighting, ample cabinet and counter space, and SS appliances. This level also includes a half bath and access to a screened-in porch. The second floor comprises four corner bedrooms and a full bath with elegant glass tile accents and a double vanity. The finished third level features skylights and storage. A semi-finished LL includes a full bath. The rear deck is an ideal spot for a late summer barbeque. Great proximity to the commuter rail.
