Originally built in 1930, this beautifully maintained Colonial pairs classic character with thoughtful updates and a notably flexible floor plan. A welcoming foyer introduces a den/office with a wood-burning fireplace and a spacious living room anchored by a second. Off the main rooms, the bright morning room opens through a new slider to the private backyard and stone patio, while the formal dining room’s bay window frames views of the grounds. Upstairs, a gracious landing leads to the primary bedroom with a newly renovated ensuite bath and large walk-in closet; two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with a jetted tub. A private fourth bedroom and full bath—accessible via the primary or a separate back staircase—adds welcome versatility. The finished lower level brings knotty pine paneling, luxury vinyl flooring, and a third fireplace for cozy evenings. Outside, mature trees and a fully fenced yard set an unhurried pace.
