    Rare opportunity!! This versatile 2,007 sq. ft. Colonial is set on a level half-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyle. The home features two levels of living space, each with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The second-floor unit is a legal in-law apartment that may be rented to non-blood-related occupants, creating an ideal opportunity for extended family, multi-generational living, guests, or potential rental income. Thoughtfully updated throughout with all-new hardwood floors, trim, doors, custom closets, and kitchens with stainless steel appliances, along with two new water heaters, separate heating and A/C zones, energy-efficient windows, and so much more. Exterior improvements include a newer roof (2015), new gutters, new decks, and a new garage door.

Also included in the sale is an additional 6,280 sq. ft. lot with frontage on both Alma Road and Phyllis Avenue, offering even more possibilities for the new owner.
