Nestled behind a circular driveway at the end of a picturesque cul de sac near town is an updated colonial gem, the perfect blend of classic elegance and warmth. Built for entertainment, with a foyer that opens directly into a two-story living room, anchored by an inviting fireplace that leads into a beautiful formal dining room. The open-concept eat-in kitchen and den flank the main level on one side and a light-filled, over-sized office with wood paneling and built-ins on the other. On the midlevel is a cathedral ceilinged primary bedroom featuring a double-sided fireplace that creates a cozy bedroom suite and spa-like bathroom, complete with double walk in closets. The primary bedroom includes a loft-perfect secondary home office. All four bedrooms in the home are well-sized and en suite. A walkout finished basement creates a layout that has room for all. Lastly, the beautiful landscaping makes this home the perfect 2.57-acre retreat without compromising proximity to town, the Merritt, and other amenities.
