Situated perfectly on almost 1/2 acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property sits high above most homes in the neighborhood. The first floor foyer is flanked by a gracious dining room and large living room and includes three guest closets and a powder room. The family room features a fireplace and beamed ceiling and opens the living room, foyer and patio. The kitchen opens to the butlers pantry, dining room and breakfast area.

The second floor has a large primary suite with walk-in closet and bath and three generous additional bedrooms with abundant closet space. Additional storage or expansion opportunity in the floored attic on the second floor. The finished basement has an office area, recreation room with custom built-in bookcases, wet bar, windows looking out to the side yard, a dark room with a sink (could be a future bathroom) and an exercise room or 5th bedroom. The new roof and gutters were installed in May 2023. Enjoy being close to the train, schools, parks and town!
