Beautifully set on a quiet cul-de-sac in a desirable area of Wolcott, this meticulously maintained Colonial presents like new construction and offers almost 2,700 square feet of living space and 1+ acre of land! Nothing to do but move right in as ALL major mechanicals have been replaced, including new roof, new heating system, new central air, and new water heater, for true peace of mind! Rarely found in Wolcott, this home offers the very sought-after public sewer and public water, removing the concern of costly well and septic repairs. Walk into the dramatic two-story entrance with a paladium window and gleaming hardwood floors. The kitchen showcases beautiful wood cabinetry and granite counters with a breakfast bar that opens up to the dining room, perfect for entertaining. The expansive first-floor primary suite is truly a retreat, with a custom-built-in window seat, oversized closets, and a spa-like full bath designed for relaxation. Rounding off the main level is a living room with a fireplace and a convenient half bath for guests. Upstairs, you'll find additional spacious bedrooms with custom built-in shelving, window benches, walk-in closets, and another full bath. The heated and cooled lower level offers another family room, guest room, and potential for a future in-law setup. Outside, relax on the patio or oversized deck overlooking the serene backyard, where the wooded rear yard creates a natural buffer and privacy. Walking distance to Wakelee School.
