About this home
Thoughtfully expanded and fully reimagined, this 4 bed, 3 bath Colonial offers a distinctive, design-forward layout across multiple levels. The main floor unfolds with an open living and dining area, enhanced by recessed lighting and seamless flow into a well-appointed kitchen with granite surfaces, stainless appliances, and abundant cabinetry. A main-floor bedroom, full bath, and dedicated laundry add flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat—complete with a 16x24 bedroom, walk-in closet, glass-enclosed shower, and an adjoining den or lounge. The first level introduces two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile living space with direct access to the exterior—well-suited for work, guests, or extended living. Central air, gas systems, and wood and tile flooring throughout. Fully fenced yard with patio and shed, plus decks for outdoor enjoyment.
