Sited on over 5.5 acres of gorgeous undisturbed land this classic colonial marries character of the past with open and bright living spaces that today’s buyer seeks. As the saying goes, you live in the kitchen and this home is no exception, and in fact the kitchen is stunningly dramatic with its cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, skylights, and wood burning fireplace where you can cozy up with a cup of coffee on chilly mornings. Also on the main level are formal dining and living as well as a family room with an oversized fireplace. All these rooms have warm-toned hardwood and 9-foot ceilings providing a spectacular backdrop to create the look of your dreams. Private office with French doors, 2-story foyer, laundry and 3/4 bath also on the main level. Upstairs are 4 generously sized bedrooms including a master suite with tile shower, soaking tub, double vanity and - you guessed it! Another fireplace. All the rooms benefit from sunlight streaming in all day long (if you are a light person this is your home). There is a second staircase from the kitchen to the upper level. Additional features include two large decks and a patio for private al fresco entertaining out back, a full basement, radon mitigation and unfinished attic space over the oversized 2-car garage that connects to the house and could be additional living space.
