Property Description

This BREATH-TAKING Colonial effortlessly blends its original charm with contemporary convenience, featuring 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Thoughtfully updated to preserve its original character, the home immediately blows you away with soaring 9-foot ceilings, rich gumwood trim, detailed moldings, and coffered ceilings that speak to a level of artistry seldom found today! The inviting enclosed front porch leads into a stately ceramic-tiled foyer, which opens to refinished hardwood floors that span both levels. At the center of the home, the living room is adorned with an impressive wood-burning fireplace, bordered by classic pocket doors and complemented by original custom built-in cabinetry that seamlessly integrates storage with style. The ample, modern kitchen provides up-to-date convenience and includes a Butler's pantry with shining wood cabinets. Exquisite antique ceiling lights and sconces adorn every room. Upstairs, a newly installed balcony off one of the bedrooms offers a peaceful sanctuary overlooking the private yard. The outdoor space is ideal for summer afternoons, complete with fruit-bearing pear trees, and includes the useful feature of a 2-car detached garage. Conscientious updates have enhanced both comfort and efficiency without compromising the home's historical integrity. These updates include new windows throughout, a freshly painted exterior and interior, a new tear-off roof, new gutters, new garage doors, and glass block basement windows. This is more than a house—it’s a home steeped in heritage, full of character, and possessing lasting appeal, ready for its next chapter! You don't want to miss this one, it's a SHOW STOPPER!
