Put this home on your short list, then its time to schedule your moving truck!! This colonial is located on a tree lined street in East Forest Park. This home shows beautifully the sun shines thru the newer windows accenting the natural woodwork and neutral paint colors thru out the 1st floor. A kitchen designed to maximum space and utility is perfect for preparing dinners on a cold New England night or summer entertaining with access to the back deck and yard. Your 2nd floor is where you will find your master with your private bath, 2 additional bedrooms and 2nd full bath with access to the at attic which is good for storage or could be finished off as a 4th bedroom/media room or family area but you may never need to with a basement that is already partially finished. This home is beautifully appointed and has room for everyone! Newer updates include boiler, electrical, vinyl siding and inground sprinkler system!
