Vaulted-ceiling family...Well-maintained classic center hall colonial on a highly-desirable, flat 2-acre lot that offers both privacy and openness; located on prestigious, family-friendly cul-de-sac. Focal point is the huge eat-in kitchen exceptionally well-suited for entertaining, with its oversized center island and seamless flow into the adjacent dining area that comfortably fits a table for twelve. Kitchen encircled by main fireplace, butler’s area, wet bar, built-in desk and abundant storage. Vaulted-ceiling family room located off the kitchen enhances the home’s open feel with built-ins, a fireplace and French doors leading to the gorgeous deck. Front-to-rear living room with third fireplace, elegant formal dining room, powder room and mudroom (w/laundry) complete the main level. The sky-lit bonus room above the garage, w/HVAC, is a perfect office, playroom or even an extra bedroom. Second level offers hardwood floors throughout, four generously-sized bedrooms, walk-in master closet and two “refreshed” baths. Lowest level is immaculate, best described as “semi-finished” with significant upgrades that include: aesthetically-appealing (and money-saving) wall insulation, brand new water filtration system, air purifier, new windows, new energy-efficient water heater, new well tank and freshly painted. $100k+ of capital expenditure including: roof and gutters w/warranty, money saving attic insulation upgrade w/warrant, new garage doors/motors and more. A real gem!
