This ranch is too big to call "cozy," but it has some features that certainly suggest that quality. The south-facing breakfast nook is a bright & sunny place to start your morning, or a great place for friends to relax with a glass of wine while you tend to the pasta. The spacious living room will accommodate those who like their spaces open, or you can arrange your furniture around the beautiful wood fireplace for more intimate conversations and still have room for a formal dining table and a small office space. Just off the living room the enclosed porch overlooking the backyard makes a great spot for relaxing after a hard day's work. The rest of the first floor includes a good-sized master bedroom, the second bedroom, and a charmingly updated full bathroom. There's a mudroom entry--essential in New England--that connects to the garage (where a cedar closet is tucked away) and provides direct entry access to the kitchen. Downstairs you'll find a partially finished family room with walk-out access to the gorgeous stone patio, which features a grand pergola, a stone outdoor grill, and stone walkway up to the front yard--a great spot for gatherings of family and friends or outdoor birthday parties. The patio is also flanked by terraced gardens, so you can put your green thumb to work and add a touch of color to the yard. Located in a walkable neighborhood near Smyth Road Elementary and Hillside Middle Schools as well as Derryfield Park, this home will capture your heart!
