Hey, skip the remarks and take a look at the pictures! You'll see skillful upgrades that put this home a step up from all the rest. It's amazing how a standard colonial house and lay-out can transform to outstanding with time, labor and love. The lucky bidder is going to benefit from the owner's insistence on quality and style. This home is set on a beautiful, above street level lot. It all starts with the facade. From the brick path you step up to a very large sheltered custom built, maintenance free porch. The front door with side light opens to a hall entry. You can proceed straight through to the superb kitchen and breakfast room. The hall and kitchen are floored with Brazilian tiger wood. Straight ahead is a wonderful custom kitchen and breakfast room complete with granite counter tops, a six burner Bosch gas range and Bosch microwave, double sink and island. Step down to the den with a full mantel height stone wall, flanking windows and wood burning fireplace. There is easy access to an updated powder room, laundry room and outside exit. Back at the front hall, to the left and through pocket doors you'll enter the living room currently used as a huge dining room (great idea!). The dining room is currently used as a cozy sitting room (another great idea!). The remainder of the house has oak floors beneath the carpet. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two updated baths. The full finished basement doesn't feel like a basement because of double hung windows with deep window sills that let in natural light. The fenced backyard is an unbelievable year round "stay-cation." It starts with a large new deck and step down 16 x 12' flagstone patio graced with an authentic pergola adorned with wisteria and trumpet vines. The in-ground pool is further in the backyard. It has a new liner, new filter and pump and a copper ionization system - no chlorine! The pool has its own raised deck/gazebo with sheltered roof. Established trees and plantings, plus a brick walk add to the ambiance. While you're in the back yard take a look at the 2015 FIFTY year roof guaranteed and transferable. Yes, it's a winner!
