This move-in ready 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom English cottage provides the perfect blend of historic character and modern finishes. The home has great natural light, hardwood floors, arched doorways and updates abound.

There is a dedicated dining room in addition to a breakfast nook off the spacious kitchen. The kitchen features soapstone countertops, white cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, designer fixtures, three pantries (two closets and one oversized cabinet) and a planning desk. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generously sized family room and functional mudroom. Each walks out to one of two gorgeous Brazilian walnut decks which step down onto a bluestone paver patio and fully fenced yard. The main level also has a bedroom (or office) with attached full bathroom (updated Fall 2021). Upstairs there are four additional bedrooms with two full updated bathrooms (Summer 2020). The primary suite has a massive walk-in closet with professional organization and a spa-like bath with clawfoot tub, walk in shower and dual vanity. Be sure to check out the finished attic nook in the SW bedroom - a perfect kids playroom or extra storage space! A finished basement includes a laundry room, full bathroom (updated Fall 2023), exercise area and bonus space (with pre-wire surround) as well as a clean and well lit crawl space. Owners have lovingly maintained and improved upon this family home.
