About this home

Welcome to this Western Section colonial (designed by Henry A Jandl in 1951) that offers spacious living spaces and opportunities to add your personal touches. On a cul-de-sac minutes from town, you find a circular driveway that drops you off in front of the bluestone porch and attractive front door. Inside, the foyer leads you into the huge living room surrounded by windows, bookcases and a fireplace. French doors from the adjacent formal dining room overlook the bluestone terrace, brick wall and backyard with above ground pool. The sunny galley kitchen is equipped with double ovens, gas stove and a pantry. A cozy library with another fireplace, a wet bar and powder room and a large laundry room and full bath complete the main floor. Upstairs, there is the primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom and multiple closets, two bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom, the fourth bedroom with ensuite bathroom and two additional rooms that can be used as an office and/or den. The partial finished basement and oversized 2 car garage completes the picture. Additional highlights include a full house 22KW Generac Generator (2020), new siding (2019), new roof (2019), new AC unit (2018) and 100 gallon water heater (2015). Don't miss it!
