Welcome to this wonderful brick front, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial, set on a prime corner lot, in highly sought after Kings Contrivance! As you approach, you'll appreciate the curb appeal first, the ample parking, the cul-de-sac location, but then when you enter, you'll love it even more with features that include: hardwood floors on the whole main level, large living room to your right and formal dining room to your left with chair and crown moldings. Down the hall you'll find the great family room with built-in cabinets and bookshelves that surround the wood-burning brick fireplace for cozy nights at home. Adjoined to the family room is the kitchen complete with Corian countertops, custom cabinetry that includes a hidden spice cabinet, built-in microwave, stainless steel refrigerator, pantry and a lot of counter space. Plus there is plenty of room for a kitchen table and chairs. Right off of the kitchen, you'll want to relax and unwind in this generously sized and PERFECT screened-in porch, complete with the white paneled high ceiling, ceiling fan, composite flooring, and with two doors that both lead out to the backyard. Back inside the main level also has a powder room, laundry area and the door out to the oversized 2-car garage. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The primary suite is well sized and ideal, with its walk-in closet, vanity with a granite top, and recently remodeled luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a custom tiled shower with seamless glass door, and vanity with a granite top as well (2013). The guest full bath has also been recently remodeled with a new vanity with a quartz countertop (2021). The lower level is finished and has a wide open and versatile space that could be used as a 2nd family room, home office, home gym, or playroom. There is also a separate room that could be a craft room, office, or a 5th bedroom perhaps. And don't miss the workshop room with a built-in workbench and lots of storage.
