Property Description
A rare find-this beautifully updated 2-story, 5-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial offers quality construction and thoughtful upgrades throughout. A full second-floor addition was completed in 2010, built with 2x6 construction and upgraded insulation for enhanced comfort and efficiency. The home features all newer insulated dual-pane windows, newer electrical with 200-amp service and mostly new wiring, along with fully upgraded plumbing highlighted by all-new copper lines. The kitchen was remodeled in 2016 and features oak cabinetry, granite countertops, ceramic tile flooring, and a tile backsplash. The main-level family room was completely gutted and remodeled in 2018, showcasing a wood ceiling, wood-laminate flooring, 2x6 construction, and beautiful views of the spacious backyard. All interior doors have been upgraded to solid-core oak doors. A convenient second-floor laundry room offers a walk-in, self-contained, watertight space with ceramic tile floors and walls, a marble folding countertop, and a floor drain for added peace of mind. Additional highlights include a newer 40-year architectural shingle roof (approximately 15 years old) and a zoned HVAC system with two furnaces and two central air units for maximum efficiency. Both full bathrooms have been remodeled with ceramic tile, new vanities, reglazed tub, marble countertops, and a double-bowl sink. The spacious primary bedroom suite features an exceptionally large walk-in closet-so generous it is listed separately under additional room dimensions. Extra parking at the rear of the home provides space for multiple vehicles, and the concrete driveway was fully replaced from front to back, including extended parking areas. The large, fully fenced backyard is another standout feature, perfect for family activities, pets, and outdoor entertaining. A truly turnkey home offering exceptional construction, modern updates, and plenty of space for family living and outdoor enjoyment.
