Beautifully renovated 5-bed, 3-bath Colonial blends timeless character with modern updates and everyday functionality. Bright living and dining spaces flow from the updated kitchen, featuring a clean contemporary design. Past the convenient half bath and attached garage is a family room that adds built-in storage and a wood stove. The finished lower level increases the home's flexibility with a private bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or a home office. Major 2024 improvements include all new windows and exterior doors, updated paint and lighting, new siding and gutters, and central A/C. Outside, enjoy a thoughtfully landscaped yard with low-maintenance native garden biomes, a freshly painted deck, stone patio, and fire pit.
