Tucked back on the sleepy end of a long-admired street, sporting a freshly painted exterior, is a Colonial full of delightfully sunny spaces, many of which open to stone patios within the secluded yard. A gate in the fence gives entry to the sweeping Hun School mall, a lovely stretch of open green space. More opportunities for outdoor recreation are found a few steps further in sprawling Greenway Meadows, through which neighborhood children often stroll to beloved Johnson Park School. The home's easy flowing floorplan begins with a wide foyer that culminates in a sun-drenched Great Room with built-ins at either end. Just as big and bright, the adjoining breakfast room and kitchen have a user-friendly layout with loads of counter space, a walk-in pantry and high-end appliances by Thermador and SubZero. The mudroom, a modern day necessity, is totally custom-crafted. Across from the dining room, a storage-rich study offers an ideal work-from-home situation with an attached sunroom to encourage occasional breaks. Atop the stairs, a beautifully renovated hall bath serves 2 bedrooms, while 2 more have baths en suite. A bank of windows beneath a cathedral ceiling and a skylight above a marble rain shower enhance the main suite's airy atmosphere. The laundry is wisely located nearby. With a finished basement, walk-up attic, newer roof and nearly all windows and doors replaced, this Edgerstoune home is complete and prepped for its next chapter.

Don't miss this solidly built classic Colonial in a choice western section neighborhood. Major renovations were done to the house in 2006, which offered the house the best of both worlds: A tasteful older home with the modern conveniences of an updated kitchen, master suite and more. The large new kitchen includes a cathedral ceiling with skylight, custom hardwood maple cabinets, Absolute black granite countertops; subway tile backsplash; walk-in pantry closet; built-in work station with custom hardwood maple cabinets and Carrara marble desktop. The new mudroom includes built-in cubbies and drawer and a new covered side entry. The master suite was renovated to include a custom cathedral ceiling, and a glamorous master bath with double sinks in maple cabinetry with Carrara marble countertops. A wonderful family home in a great neighborhood within walking distance to town!
