This beautifully updated Colonial, built in 1927, combines historic charm with modern convenience. A welcoming portico invites you into a home with classic hardwood floors throughout. The main level features a well-appointed kitchen with quartz counters, a breakfast bar and a stylish tile backsplash, leading seamlessly into the formal dining room, where an original built-in hutch adds vintage character. The spacious, front-to-back living room centers around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for gatherings, while the adjacent sunroom offers direct access to the backyard and is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A convenient half bath completes the main floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a spacious and tranquil retreat and hosts a large closet and charming window seat. Two good-sized bedrooms, a full bath and generous storage complete the second floor. The finished third floor, currently set up as a home office and fourth bedroom, provides flexibility for various needs and the partially finished lower level includes a rec room, laundry area and utility/storage space. Outside, two decks overlook a private yard and the one-car detached garage will keep your vehicle free of snow and debris. Updates include new windows, hot water heater and sump pump. Ideally situated near parks, restaurants and shopping, this home is a rare find that blends timeless style with thoughtful upgrades.
