...In a picturesque and long-established neighborhood, this Thompson-designed Colonial
promises a wealth of possibilities for its next owners. While it is being offered strictly as-is, this
home boasts solid bones and a myriad of charming features that set the stage for a truly
enchanting future living experience. With its classic appeal, the moment you step onto the
property with its mature trees and plantings, there’s such a serene sense of ambiance. One of
the defining features of this home is its solid construction and architectural integrity, a hallmark
of Thompson's timeless design. Hardwood flooring and long sash pane-over-pane windows
grace many of the rooms. The center hall layout enhances the home's flow, with the living room
extending gracefully from front to back, complete with a cozy fireplace and a glass door leading
to the backyard. The dining room offers the perfect setting for hosting gatherings with ease,
while the adjacent family room, with its built-ins and sliders to the back, seamlessly blends
indoors and out. The kitchen and an adjoining breakfast room are an ideal canvas for a
modernized future space. Just bring your design ideas and wish list because the size is here to
make all your culinary dreams come true. A sheltered walkway leading to the two-car garage is
handy on rainy days and there’s a powder room and laundry to round out the first floor. Four
bright and sunny bedrooms are upstairs. The main suite has its own bath, a walk-in closet, and
a double closet. The remaining bedrooms share a hall bath. With a little imagination and some
fresh paint, this home presents a rare opportunity to transform it into your forever house, tailored
to your lifestyle while still preserving the features that make it feel so much like a home.
