Built-ins flank either side of the wood burning fireplace...Stunning transformation of this two story colonial from traditional to a modern masterpiece! The current owners spent the last several years renovating and improving the home from top to bottom. An open floor plan was achieved on the first floor while adding new handscraped hardwood floors to tie all the spaces together. Dining room features wainscoting and a bar area with beverage fridge adding the perfect touch for ease in entertaining. Built-ins flank either side of the wood burning fireplace in the living area that is open to the beautifully renovated kitchen. White cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, granite counters, and stainless appliances, including a 6 burner gas cooktop, are all complementary to one another and create a sophisticated space that makes cooking a pleasure. Family room off the living area is a flexible living space that could make the perfect playroom, home office or quiet sitting room. What could easily end up being your favorite room in the house is the spacious mudroom with cubbies for storing backpacks, briefcases, sports or music equipment and includes a well organized laundry area with stackable washer/dryer, sink, and bar for hanging. Upstairs you will find additional customizations made to the original floor plan to enhance the existing space for today's way of living. Primary bedroom suite has dual closets and private en-suite bath. The marble primary bathroom located behind the sliding barn door was enlarged to include a two sink vanity, makeup vanity, and an oversized shower for two. The upstairs is also host to three additional bedrooms and a fully renovated bath. Finished lower level adds even more living space with a large recreation room highlighted by a live edge wood counter with seating. Two barn doors add architectural interest and hide a home office as well as the unfinished area of the basement for storage with exercise area. Full bathroom completes the level. Outside you will find a huge stamped concrete patio, firepit area, and large, flat yard. Additional updates since 2016 include new roof, windows,siding, gutters and soffits, garage door, drywall & insulation in entire house, new copper plumbing lines, gas water heater, new copper electrical wiring, landscaping to add privacy, and more. This home is the definition of move-in ready!
