About this home

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial offering an impressive blend of space, style, and thoughtful updates! Step inside to a welcoming foyer and sun-filled living room showcasing rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, a charming bay window, recessed lighting, and fresh paint. The dining room is perfect for gatherings, while the well-appointed kitchen features raised-panel cabinetry, a striking herringbone tile backsplash, ceramic tile floors, and stainless steel appliances. Just beyond, the inviting family room boasts Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a gas fireplace with decorative mantel and tile hearth, plus sliders opening to an expansive cambridge paver patio and large fenced backyard ideal for entertaining and outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout four generously sized bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite with walk-in closet, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and a beautifully recently renovated private bath featuring a fully tiled shower with rain showerhead, handheld spray, and built-in niches. An updated hall bath (last year) completes the second level. The finished basement provides even more living space with a large recreation area, laundry, storage, and utility rooms. Additional highlights include newer garage door and opener and plenty of shelves and cabinets for storage, 2025 roof, owned solar panels providing you with considerable savings on electric, Nest thermostats, pull-down attic stairs, vinyl siding, covered front porch, paver driveway and walkway, and beautiful landscaping. Less than 1 mile to train station, close to buses, shopping and all major roadways. This one has it all!
