About this home

Some homes just have a feeling the moment you walk through the door, you can just feel the love & care that has gone into them over the years. This is one of those special homes. Lovingly owned & cared for by the same family for 50 years, this beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is ready to welcome its next family & be loved on the same for many years to come. As you arrive, you'll immediately appreciate the natural stone retaining wall & beautifully established landscaping, which was once recognized with the town's curb appeal award. Inside, 2,570 square feet of living space provides an incredible amount of room to spread out, entertain, & make memories. The updated kitchen features double ovens & flows into a large, dedicated dining room making this home perfectly suited for hosting family & friends. The main level offers two spacious living areas, each with its own charm, making it hard to choose a favorite. The primary bedroom features an attached full bath with a stand-up shower, while a second main-level bedroom offers flexibility as a bedroom, home office, or whatever best fits your needs. A second full bath, laundry room, & mudroom complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms along with a large attic storage area that offers the potential to be finished into additional living space, if desired. The 794 sq ft basement offers great additional storage & houses the mechanics. Step outside to enjoy the amazing patio which is an ideal spot for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Situated on a generous double lot totaling .329 acres, there's plenty of room for kids & pets to run & play. Many important updates have already been taken care of for you, including a new HVAC system in 2024 & a roof approximately 6-7 years ago.
