Rare find! This stately three story red brick Colonial is on a coveted street, known for its tree divided detail in the ladder street district. Prime location within walking distance of the town center, schools, restaurants, trains, places of worship and more. A large, warm foyer, with period detailed stairwell, is flanked by large living and dining rooms. In addition, the spacious wood burning fireplace and large windows set off the welcoming space. Beyond the living room is a cozy private study. A kitchen and a large family room provide lots of room to enjoy and a deck and good size level backyard create a flexible indoor/outdoor space. Space abounds on the second and third floors with six bedrooms, skylights, and built in dressers and window seats. The charm of vintage details are throughout. The primary suite has a large walk in closet that was part of the 1985 addition. This is a home that offers lots of opportunity to spread out and enjoy holidays with family and friends.
