About this home

Elegant 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath center hall Colonial offering the perfect blend of space, functionality, and timeless style in a sought-after neighborhood. Curb appeal abounds with the stone garden walls gracing the entire front of the home. A paver entry path leads to the front door. A welcoming foyer with twin coat closets greets you as you enter. The traditional center hall layout features a spacious formal living room and formal dining room, both highlighted by hardwood floors and decorative molding. The bright kitchen is well appointed with cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances including a French-door refrigerator, vented range hood, and a convenient pantry closet along with a breakfast nook. There's a conveniently located laundry room in addition to a powder room on this area. Sliding doors in the breakfast nook area leads down to a large concrete patio and expansive, level backyard with storage shed, ideal for outdoor entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Just off the kitchen, the sunken family room offers overhead lighting and a charming wood-burning fireplace set against a brick accent wall with mantle and hearth. This cozy family room also provides direct access to the oversized two-car garage with a rear door to the yard. Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature hardwood floors and overhead lighting. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a ensuite bath with cherry vanity, granite countertop, tile floors and walls, vent fan, and a step-in shower with clear glass doors. The updated hall bath offers a cherry vanity with granite top, tiled tub/shower, wall and floor tile, linen closet, vanity lighting, and vent fan. The full finished basement provides additional living space with a large recreation room, two versatile bonus rooms (one with a closet), a utility room with shelving, cabinets, and utility sink, plus ample storage including an under-stairs closet. Additional highlights include a large driveway with off-street parking for two additional vehicles. Conveniently located near NYC bus and train transportation, shopping, and major roadways.
