This classic Colonial has several upgrades and unique features, making it a rare find. Entering the home, you're greeted by the oversized living room, exuding warmth and light with the large bay window and wood-burning fireplace. The bright, formal dining room has a second bay window and chair rails for a traditional touch. Heading to the recently updated, eat-in kitchen, you'll notice the high-quality appliances that appeal to any cooking enthusiast inclusive of double-wall convection ovens (smart phone controllable!) , and a trash compactor. The kitchen steps into the cozy family room thoughtfully designed with a second wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves and cabinets. Let's also remember the sunroom! Surrounded by windows, 2 sliding doors (to the back Trex deck!) and 3 skylights, this room is full of natural light and features a built-in entertainment system and a full wet bar with mini fridge, making it the perfect place for entertaining! Just off the sunroom is the laundry area complete with a half bath. Heading upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including the Primary with a full bath. Step outside to your very own oasis in the lovely, fenced in backyard with a beautiful inground pool. With a partially finished basement, 2-car garage, and so much else to offer, the possibilities are endless at 78 Kennedy Drive! SOLD "As Is".
