Nestled in Sandy Hook stands a home once known as the "House of Lilacs". This colonial was built by the Baker family and was one of only five houses on the then unpaved road. This enchanting home offers a unique blend of old-world style & timeless elegance. Off of the breezeway is the kitchen with breakfast nook. From the kitchen there is a swinging door to the dining room. The dining room is a testament to the home's character, boasting a wall of windows, a built-in cupboard and linen closet, all of which add character & functionality to the space. There is a bedroom with half a bath on the main level which is currently being used as a Den. The main bedroom on the upper level is also front to back of the home, bathed in light, with its own bathroom with retro inspired fixtures. There are two other generous sized bedrooms with a hall bath. Accessed in the upper hallway is a walk-up attic with loads of room to store your personal belongings. The lower level has a laundry area, finished rec room and plenty of storage. This home offers its own unique ambiance and charm on over 2 acres of land.
