Located in the desirable Newstead section, this classic colonial is loaded with curb appeal. Inside, spacious rooms are arranged in an open flow, where the neutral decor welcomes a wide array of tastes and furnishings. Picture windows bathe rooms in natural light, while gleaming hardwood floors add texture and warmth. This is a home that you will be proud to showcase at every opportunity.

Cross over the threshold and into the entry vestibule with two conveniently located coat closets. As you step into the foyer gleaming hardwood floors flow underfoot and your first glimpse of the open floor plan comes into view. The living room is distinguished by its large picture window, perfectly framed by custom built-ins, and the gas fireplace adds extra warmth on those colder nights.

The adjoining family room features a beamed cathedral ceiling, distress style wood paneling and windows on three sides that offer pleasant views and bathe the room in plenty of natural sunlight.

The formal dining room with chair rail detailing is ready to host your next dinner party and located right off the kitchen for added convenience. The new eat-in kitchen is any cooks’ dream with Caesarstone counters, custom cabinets, walk-in pantry, top of the line appliances and sliding glass door out to the deck.

Down the hall a private bedroom with its own full bathroom and access to the side door can easily be enjoyed as a suite for in-laws, housekeeper or home office. Completing this level is a powder room with tile floor and pedestal sink.

The second level is home to 3 generous-sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including the master suite with plenty of closet storage, custom built-ins and full bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub.

The finished lower level includes a recreation room, laundry and storage room and access to the 2-car garage with additional storage cabinets. And there’s more…perhaps the hidden gem of this home is the private bonus room located just off the garage, perfect for an office, gym or additional storage.
