Builders certainly do not make them like this anymore. If you are looking for style, elegance, and character then look no more. This is a must see in person! This older style colonial home has so much to offer all the while sitting over a tranquil setting out back. There are a lot of pluses to this home, the woods in the backyard, the flowers in the front yard and the birds chirping are a wonderful setting for relaxing on the back deck and or a stone blue slate patio. You can also enjoy the blooming flowers up front on another blue slate patio. Inside you will find some amazingly preserved hardwood floors throughout the home. 5 Bedrooms 3.5 Baths, plenty of rooms and plenty of storage. The natural sunlight throughout the house is spectacular. First floor consists of a lovely living room with a fireplace insert that heated the first floor and made the living room a lovely gathering place in winter time. Off of the living room you have a wonderful porch that is currently being used as a violin work shop. Nice big kitchen with many cabinets and lots of counter space. Upstairs you have 5 Bedrooms and 3 Full Baths. Master suit has a full bath and a secluded balcony! There is plenty of space in the basement for storage and also a bonus studio room for either office space or more entertaining. You have a 10-minute walk to the train station, being downtown in 20 minutes. Short distance walk to the post office, a few restaurants, and the dry cleaners.
