This stately Colonial on a nearly one-acre, gently sloping lot, is surrounded by gorgeous, mature shade trees. The homes five-star curb appeal begins from its generous setback from the street and tree-lined sidewalk and continues up the manicured lawn to elegant double front entry doors, accented by etched glass inserts in the doors and side panels. The two-story hardwood foyer is flanked by the formal living areas of the home, featuring wainscotting and crown molding, a lovely bay window in the dining room, and French doors that open from the living room to the family room, making for easy entertaining and a genuine experience of open living space. One step into the eat-in kitchen and adjoining family room and you can already picture the buzz of family life centered around a well-equipped, pleasingly bright, white kitchen with contrasting deep teal countertops. To the chefs delight, a gas-fueled cooktop is easy to work with on a large center island, and judging from the arrangement of all appliances, this kitchen must have been designed by someone who loves to cook. Even a built-in desk makes multitasking a breeze. The eat-in space boasts a skylight and a bump-out extension that gives panoramic views of the backyard and ready access to the deck area. The gas fireplace and a unique, artfully designed wet bar area built into the family room make this a hands-down favorite gathering place for relaxing evenings or lively Sunday afternoon football game-watching. A decorative powder room is conveniently located on the first floor, as is the laundry room, with access to the garage and back deck, offering a utility sink, cabinets, and full-sized washer and dryer. Four spacious bedrooms on the second level all have ceiling fans and very generous closet space. The primary bedroom has two walk-in closets and a remarkably large sitting room with built-in shelving, cabinets, and computer station, perfect for late-night reading or catching up on emails. A spacious spa-like bathroom includes a step-up, soaking tub, and easy step-in glass-surround shower, as well as one of two vanities that can be closed off for additional privacy. A second full bath is shared by the three additional bedrooms. A full, unfinished, well-lit basement offers very generous storage space and plenty of room to spare for workout equipment and DIY projects. Outdoors, the enjoyment of this home continues.
