Beautifully renovated with a true appreciation for craftsmanship, quality, and the character of the original home. This classic Colonial has been thoughtfully updated with attention to detail and quality finishes while preserving many of its timeless original features, including hardwood floors, charming built-ins, and a beautiful fireplace.

The finished walkout basement with a separate entrance provides additional versatile living space, while the finished attic offers even more room for a home office, recreation area, guest space, or other possibilities. Additional features include central air conditioning and a detached 2-car garage. This is not a quick cosmetic renovation it is a home that has been carefully updated with quality and pride of ownership in mind.
