Property Description

Set on a lovely, tree-lined street is this warm and inviting expanded Colonial that feels like "home" the moment you arrive. From the classic two story design to the welcoming front entry, every detail of this 14 room residence has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, flexibility, and everyday enjoyment. The main level features a smart, layout that effortlessly supports the many demands of modern life. Just off the foyer, you'll find flexible spaces ideal for formal living, a dedicated play area, or even a more private reading nook-each room ready to adapt as your household's needs change. At the heart of the home is the expanded and modern kitchen, a true gathering space where form and function come together. An expansive center island invites casual conversations over morning coffee, while the adjacent eating area is perfectly positioned for family dinners or weekend brunches. Rich cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a thoughtful layout make meal preparation both practical and pleasurable. The family room, with its vaulted ceilings, is a space you'll be drawn to at all hours of the day. Sunlight fills the room by day, while in the evenings it transforms into a cozy retreat-ideal for movie nights, game time, or simply unwinding. Easy access to the deck and fenced backyard, blending indoor and outdoor living. Open the door and step out to the scent of fresh grass and the soft sounds of the neighborhood; this is an ideal backdrop for summer barbecues, pets at play, and alfresco dining with friends and family. Convenience is thoughtfully woven into the first floor with 1.5 baths on this level-perfect for guests and busy households-and a designated child's play area that keeps toys and activities easily accessible yet neatly contained. Each room on the main level offers flexibility, whether you're hosting a crowd, working from home, or simply enjoying a quiet night in. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four spacious bedrooms, each offering a sense of calm and privacy. Generous closets, brightly lit windows, and comfortable proportions create restful retreats for every member of the household. In addition, there is a dedicated space ideal for a homebased business-whether you need a private office, studio, consulting room, or study area, this flexible zone supports productivity without sacrificing the comfort of home. Two full baths on this level provide convenience for busy mornings and peaceful nighttime routines. The finished basement expands your living space even further. Here, you'll find a large recreation room that can easily serve as a game room, fitness area, or guest retreat. With a full bath on this level, overnight guests can enjoy their own private space, and large gatherings can flow comfortably from one space to another. This level adds a valuable layer of versatility, accommodating everything from kids' sleepovers to extendedstay visitors. Outdoors, the fenced yard offers peace of mind and freedom-perfect for pets, young children, and anyone who loves to relax in a secure, private setting. The deck becomes a natural extension of the home in warmer months: picture twinkling string lights, the aroma of food on the grill, and the sound of laughter carrying into the evening. This is a space designed for memory-making. An attached 2car garage provides added convenience year round, offering direct access to the home and ample room for storage of sports gear, tools, and seasonal decor. Location enhances every one of these features. Just a short stroll away, a nearby park and playground provide an easy escape for fresh air and outdoor fun. Enjoy walking distance access to local recreation and the train, making commuting or a quick trip to the city both practical and stressfree. This blend of neighborhood charm and commuter convenience is one of the home's most compelling advantages.

MY BLOGS

Vacant Land Scams are REAL

My Recent Experience with an Unauthorised Land Seller About 6 months ago, I received an email from (let's call him) Charlie. A "nothing out of the ordinary" email from a common (and mildly validating) charlie.....@hotmail stating: "I have owned the lot for many years, but a couple of years ago I moved from Illinois to California, and I would like to sell the lot. If you could please provide me with a market valuation, that would be great. We are looking to make a quick decision on this. Thank you, Charlie"

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
