One of a kind and unforgettable, this exceptional Colonial welcomes you with breathtaking curb appeal, highlighted by raised flower beds and a charming Southern-style covered front porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. An additional covered porch off the family room, complete with skylights, creates the perfect setting to unwind—imagine relaxing with your favorite evening beverage while gazing at the stars, or starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee as snow gently falls around you. Perfectly situated on a flat and usable 2-acre lot, this property is a dream for car enthusiasts and hobbyists alike. The spacious three-car garage, wide driveway, and expansive grounds offer endless possibilities, including room to add a detached outbuilding, workshop, or hobby shed. Inside, the thoughtfully designed main level offers both elegance and functionality. A private office, living room, and dining room flow seamlessly into the heart of the home—the kitchen—featuring granite countertops, a center island, peninsula seating, and a sunlit morning room that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen opens to the inviting family room, where a cozy pellet stove creates warmth and ambiance. The walk-out lower level expands your entertainment options with a spacious recreation room, wet bar, exercise room, half bathroom, and you could install your own private sauna—an ideal retreat for relaxation and wellness. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, a versatile den, hall bathroom, and the luxurious primary suite. Designed to feel like your own private spa, the primary bedroom features a stunning stone gas fireplace, creating a peaceful and serene retreat. The attached primary bath offers a soaking tub, separate shower, and an extraordinary walk-in closet the size of a bedroom. The convenience of an upper-level laundry room adds ease to everyday living. Numerous recent updates provide peace of mind, including septic pumped (2026), well pump serviced (2025), washer and dryer (2025), electric water heater (2025), garage door openers (2025), fence and powder room (2024), exterior painting (2023), microwave (2022), and a remodeled basement and refrigerator (2020).
