Offer Deadline Tuesday August 11th, 2026 at 12pm-Designed for the way people love to live today, this beautifully renovated Colonial is filled with bright, open spaces that invite everyone to gather. The stunning cathedral ceiling living room steals the show with exposed beams, a gas fireplace, and abundant natural light, while an inviting layout creates an easy connection to the kitchen, family room, and patio. Whether hosting holiday dinners, game nights, or summer cookouts, every space encourages people to come together. The renovated kitchen pairs timeless style with everyday function, offering quartz countertops, a large island, stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and abundant cabinetry. A second fireplace anchors the dining room, while the spacious family room opens directly to the backyard, extending your living space outdoors.

Set on over an acre, the backyard offers room to entertain or unwind with a patio, fire pit, hot tub, garden area, storage shed, and a seasonal pond that attracts ducks in the spring and becomes a natural ice rink in the winter. Recent improvements include a new roof, solar panels, central air, renovated kitchen and baths, hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, and more. This is a home that feels as impressive as it is welcoming, offering space to entertain, room to grow, and a setting you'll enjoy in every season. Thoughtfully updated, exceptionally inviting, and ready for its next chapter, this is a home you'll want to experience in person.
