This well maintained 2 story brick colonial built in 1975 offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath. Hardwood floors run throughout every level of the home and a long list of thoughtful updates make it truly move in ready. On the main level, the former living room was opened up and converted into a stunning private office, complete with custom floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases and rich dark stained upgraded trim. The formal dining room is a showpiece, expanded with an open layout, coffered ceiling, full wainscoting on all walls, a decorative hardwood inlay floor, and all-new lighting. The kitchen features dark oak cabinetry, white countertops, tile flooring, and newer stainless steel appliances including a double oven gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, with an adjacent breakfast nook framed by large windows. The generous living room anchors the home with a striking floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace, recessed lighting, and a sliding glass door to the back deck. A convenient powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with upgraded closets and a spa en-suite bath featuring a double vanity with granite countertop, vessel sinks, and a stunning frameless no-curb walk-in shower clad in floor-to-ceiling marble tile with a mosaic accent niche, built-in bench, rain head, handheld, and multi-body spray system. Three additional bedrooms upstairs all feature upgraded closets, served by a beautifully updated hall bath with a cherry double vanity, dark granite countertop, glass vessel sinks, penny tile floor, and tub/shower combination. The fully finished basement (completed 2021) adds exceptional living space with a large recreation room with cherry wainscoting, a wet bar with cherry cabinetry and a natural stone accent wall, a 5th bedroom with egress window and cedar lined walk-in closet, and a full bath with a gorgeous no-curb walk-in slate tile shower.
