Step into storybook charm with this classic New England–style brick home, brimming with timeless character and curb appeal. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn to the home’s welcoming facade with its distinctive gingerbread roofline and undeniable charm. A winding front walkway leads to the inviting entry, framed by seasonal landscaping that blooms beautifully in spring and fall. Inside, discover over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The gracious dining room, highlighted by a charming gas brick fireplace, provides the perfect setting for elegant entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous prep space. A cozy sitting area just off the dining room creates a seamless flow for gatherings, while the expansive family room with its own fireplace offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyday living. A versatile first-floor bedroom or private office, complemented by a full bath, adds convenience and flexibility to the home’s layout. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a serene retreat with generous closet space, a dressing area, and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring beautiful tilework and custom cabinetry. Two additional spacious bedrooms-each with their own full bath-complete the second level. Step outside to the beautifully appointed courtyard, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The flagstone terrace, framed by classic white-painted brick architecture, creates a refined backdrop for intimate gatherings or quiet moments of relaxation. Beyond, a spacious backyard offers room for outdoor activities and additional seating areas. A newly designed driveway and detached garage (2023–2024) provide a private rear entry to the home, enhancing both function and curb appeal. Perfectly situated on a generous, tree-shaded lot, this home boasts a warm, inviting presence that stands out in any season.
