The perfect balance of CONVENIENCE (minutes from routes 2, 395 and 95) and PRIVACY (5.55 acres of trees, stonewalls & mature plantings)!!!!! A covered front porch runs the length of this lovely Colonial offering plenty of space to sit & relax while protected from the sun & sprinkles. Walk into an open-floorplan including a living room (hardwoods & gas FP), an oversized dining room (hardwoods), and kitchen (granite, stainless, breakfast nook & pantry). The mudroom connects the main living area to the garage and offers tile floor, a powder room & storage closets; a perfect spot to kick off your shoes and ditch your backpacks. From here you can access the elevated deck to enjoy a cup of tea, a delicious barbeque and a gorgeous sunset. On a chilly night, meander down to the firepit and enjoy the quiet! Upstairs you'll find hardwoods in each of the 3 bedrooms. The over-sized primary suite (original design called for 2 bedrooms) includes a sitting area (reading nook), 3 large closets & a full bath (ceramic tile & linen closet). The other 2 bedrooms share a full bath (ceramic tile & tub/shower combo). Need more space? Head down to the light-filled walk-out basement This area would make a perfect playroom, home office, man cave...... The house will convey with a generator and 3 propane tanks.
