This beautiful two-story colonial style home sits on a quiet secluded ravine lot nestled between 2 parks. It presents outside like a classic colonial, but one step inside and you will discover that it is anything but! Thoughtful renovations provide a nice open feel to this home; while beautiful custom cabinets and millwork throughout speak to the care that has gone into this property. Presented now for the first time in over 25 years, this truly is a rare for sale offering. The facade of this amazing home beckons you in with its inviting front covered patio, but that pales in comparison to what you will experience once inside. There you’ll take in the main level’s bright, open rooms, hardwood and carpet flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ½ bathroom, and gas fireplace. The formal living and dining rooms are great for entertaining, while the cozy family room is located just beyond the stylish kitchen and both rooms boast views of the private backyard and ravine. The upper level of this home is where you will discover 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a generous walk-in closet as well as stellar views of the wonderful backyard out the window. The primary bedroom also boasts a private ensuite bathroom; complete with a jet tub and separate shower. The guest bathroom on this level offers not only a full bathroom space, but also an additional sink and vanity to allow multiple people to get ready at the same time! The lowest level of this home is relaxation central with a large rec room space, more built-in cabinetry, a generous laundry room with built-in cabinet and closet storage, and a ¾ bathroom. To further sweeten the package that is this property, the attached triple garage has a 31’ extra deep third stall which could allow total parking space for 4! Mature trees canopy the backyard with privacy, allowing the space to boast a two story storage shed, various perennial flower beds, a garden space, and a paver patio. Beyond all that, this property is tucked away in an established neighborhood. Guaranteed you will struggle to find a property that offers all that this one does!
