Property Description
Stately and timeless, this classic brick Colonial showcases original hardwood floors, trimwork, and moldings throughout. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a brand-new architectural shingle roof, natural gas Navien boiler, updated electrical, and a water softener. The living room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a brick wood-burning fireplace and beautiful stained-glass windows, flowing seamlessly into the formal dining room and kitchen, which features a stainless steel range, built-in microwave, and recessed lighting. Just off the kitchen is a fun and convenient laundry room complete with a classic built-in ironing board and an adjoining powder room highlighted by a custom-made stained-glass window created by the owner. A French door opens to the enclosed porch, which offers both a trap door to the basement and access to a three-season room leading out to the backyard. The home features two spacious bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room, currently used as a walk-in closet, with access to a covered balcony overlooking the private yard and charming neighborhood. The main bedroom was once two, and could be separated once again. The bathroom is adorned with the original tile, preserving the character of the era. A walk-up attic could be finished as a third bedroom. The fully fenced outdoor space provides privacy and shade under a mature maple tree and includes a solid brick garage, a second heated garage with workshop space, and a surprising enclosed brick barbecue . This stunning home is move-in ready and awaits its next owner.
