Wow! A rare opportunity to own a storybook colonial on 1.12 scenic acres backing to the Black River. Step inside and fall in love with over 1600 sq ft of character and charm that you simply won't find in modern construction. From the moment you enter the cozy enclosed front porch, you'll notice the stunning woodwork - doors, trim, moldings, staircase, and built-ins - all perfectly accented by modern paint colors and updated flooring. The spacious living room features a decorative stone fireplace and opens into a sun-filled formal dining room with three large windows. The kitchen offers modern gray cabinetry, a picture-perfect window over the sink, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient main floor half bath. A thoughtful rear addition creates a main-floor bedroom suite with an attached half bath - ideal for guests, a home office, or flexible living. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors ready to be beautifully refinished, along with a large full bath featuring modern finishes and a tub/shower combo. The fifth bedroom on the third floor offers endless possibilities - private retreat, creative space, or bonus room. The full unfinished basement provides ample storage, laundry, and mechanicals. Ideally located near the city amenities, schools, shopping, dining, etc. This home blends historic charm, modern updates, and a truly special setting. Schedule your private showing today!
