Once in a lifetime! On 2.03 acres with a quiet cul-de-sac, this highly desirable Colonial features 3 beds, 2.5 baths, 2,084 sq ft above grade, and an extra 520 sq ft of livable space below. Thoughtful updates include a kitchen with granite countertops, recessed lighting, a cast-iron double sink, new sliding door, and Trex deck. The primary bath was upgraded with quartz counters. All bedroom ceiling fans were replaced, and hard-wired smoke/CO2 detectors were recently installed. Completed major items include a new roof (2023), a water heater (2021) and a motor for the whole-house fan. While a couple of areas invite your finishing touches, the current kitchen and laundry appliances are all in good working order. Out back, enjoy an expansive deck, gazebo, extra shed, and an oversized 2-car garage abutting 20 acres of open space and private pond; the Nursery Acres Assoc annual dues were $65 this year; some variation annually. Only a short distance to Waterford beaches, Harkness, and Eugene O'Neil Theatre. Convenient proximity to shopping, this is an easy-living home base with room to personalize. Once you move in, you'll find it hard to move out! Long-term ownership is a staple here!!
