OPEN HOUSE 10/15 5:30-6:30 and 10/19 12:30-2pm. Charm & Character abound at this totally move-in ready and beautiful Stone Colonial, located in the highly desirable Hampden Heights Community. Virtually the whole interior, including mechanicals, was new and replaced in 2022, new paint, baseboards, everything. A large flagstone covered porch offers an inviting first impression to this majestic stone home and lot. As you step inside the entrance hall you are greeted by a gracious open staircase and striking refinished hardwood floors. To the left of the center hall is a study or office (could even be a bedroom), and to the right is a large living room with stunning, cozy fireplace. Imagine holiday parties or dinner get-togethers in the large formal dining room. You will love the two built-in China Cabinets that flank the room. The newer kitchen with granite work surfaces and newer stainless appliance fixtures is surely a welcome addition to this classic home. The kitchen’s size provides for a comfortable area for informal dining, plus the convenience of a direct access side porch and another door for access to a two-car garage. The upper reaches are equally beautiful! The staircase railing wraps around the second-floor hall adding to the charm and appeal. Three spacious light filled bedrooms are accessed off the open hall. A lovely new tiled hall bath services the two bedrooms. The primary bedroom provides a walk-in closet with vintage safe, plus newer updated bathroom with tiled shower. The lower level/finished basement area offers a cozy media room with wood beamed ceilings plus a stone fireplace! Additionally, there are two storage rooms and a large utility room with a walk out and up access to the driveway. The slate roof was new in 2014! The Electric was completely upgraded as well as the gas heat and electric water heater were all completely replaced in 2021. The interior was painted in 2022.
