    Space, character, and classic charm take center stage in this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse Colonial, where oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, and distinctive details make an impression from the moment you step inside. Enter through the convenient mudroom, the perfect catchall for everyday essentials, before stepping into the kitchen. At the heart of the main level is an impressive living and dining area spanning the entire width of the home, with plenty of room for gathering, entertaining, and everyday life. A full bath, separate family room, and front foyer round out the first floor and add to the home's unique layout. Both front and rear staircases lead to the second floor, where you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, convenient laundry, and an expansive full bath. Outside, a side patio off the slider offers a great spot to relax or gather, while a separate fenced-in green space provides room for gardening, play, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A full basement adds valuable storage. From its spacious interior to its inviting outdoor areas, this character-filled home offers plenty to appreciate, and even more to discover in person.
