Nestled behind lush greenery and a cheerful red door, this classic brick Colonial is brimming with charm, light, and surprise. The welcoming front porch sets the tone, surrounded by manicured landscaping, colorful blooms, and a sense of privacy that continues throughout the home. Step inside to beautifully maintained hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and a spacious, open living/dining/sitting area that flows effortlessly—perfect for daily life or entertaining. The granite and stainless kitchen offers generous storage and a thoughtful layout. Just beyond, a dreamy backyard unfolds: a stone patio, winding flagstone path, blooming lilacs and peonies, and a darling shed in front of the garage—a tucked-away treasure. Upstairs you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms and a renovated full bath. The primary bedroom boasts a walk in closet with conveniently located laundry and a walk up attic. Downstairs, flexible finished space easily serves as a third bedroom, guest retreat, or office—alongside a second full bath. This home checks practical boxes too, coveted two-car parking—one garage one surface spot and just minutes to all Friendship has to offer including restaurants, retail and transportation. But what truly sets it apart is its inviting warmth and layered character, inside and out.
