Inside, you’ll find a comfortable, well-designed floor plan with four second-floor bedrooms, a welcoming living room, fireplaced family room, formal dining room and a modern kitchen designed for everyday living. First-floor laundry and 1½ baths add convenience.One of the home's most special spaces may be the wonderful screened porch—a perfect spot for morning coffee, a good book, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Step outside to a beautiful yard filled with mature trees, colorful flowers and plenty of room to garden, play, entertain or simply enjoy the privacy of nearly an acre.Thoughtful energy improvements are another standout feature. Heat pumps installed just two years ago provide efficient heating and central air conditioning, complemented by tankless hot water, insulated windows and a solar array discreetly located on the rear of the home. The sellers also completed an extensive energy audit, making energy efficiency and year-round comfort an important part of this home's story.The peaceful cul-de-sac setting feels wonderfully removed from the everyday hustle, yet shopping, banking and other daily necessities are conveniently nearby, with easy access to Routes 3 and 495 for commuters and weekend adventures.After more than four decades of memories, celebrations, morning coffees and changing seasons, this well-loved home is ready to welcome its next owners. Come make it yours and begin the next chapter
