Property Description
Don't look if you want new construction, because this is a forever home! Solidly built in a pleasing colonial style, this 5 Bedroom, 3 and a half Bath Colonial hails back to another time when quality in construction was a source of pride. Drive down the private lane and feel like you are entering another world. Parts of the yard can feel like wilderness. Gardens, trees, shrubs, bushes, bulbs, perennials abound: 100 new plantings in the last twenty years complement an older, well-established landscape. The front to back Entry hall lets the outside in, and is open to the Living and Dining Rooms. The Living room boasts two sets of French Doors to the Screened Porch, a cozy wood burning stove in the fireplace and access out to the Hall from the back. Enjoy the Formal Dining Room with plenty of space for large holiday gatherings. Though you may want to expand the Kitchen, the morning sun can be blinding and the sunsets while preparing dinner and watching backyard activity are a special treat as well. There is a Butler's pantry off the Kitchen into the hall, perfect for entertaining. Upstairs you'll find a lovely a Master Suite: Huge Bedroom, Full Bath and Dressing area. The 2nd bedroom is currently an office. And the 3rd bedroom on this floor is a nice size as well. The third floor hosts two very large bedrooms, and a storage room. If you need more storage there is ample space and solid workbenches in the basement. Plus a large room in the garage for garden tools, bicycles, and bigger projects. The entire house has closets galore: linen, walk-in and hallway storage closets, unusual especially considering the age of the home. And the whole second floor of the carriage house is open. All three Baths have heated floors, luxurious. Ask for a Seller's Disclosure to review all the improvements, including a new roof, windows, attic insulation and heater.
