Looking for an understated elegant antique colonial with modern amenities? This 3/4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is the perfect one for you! Over the years, this property has been reimagined from the days of 1845. The outdoors provides a wealth of entertaining possibilities with a covered veranda with wood fireplace, a covered front porch, a stone terrace, multilevel deck spaces, rolling lawns and a heated pool area surrounded by perfectly manicured perennial gardens and flowering shrubs. A whole house generator tops off the list. Indoors you will find a nod to yesteryear with original beams throughout the home. You will also find refinished oak floors throughout tastefully intertwined with custom elm floors. Unlike many historic homes, this one has two areas with open floor plans: the dining/living room and the great room which encompasses the kitchen and family room. There are many custom upgrades including 2 fireplaces, a completely remodeled chef’s kitchen, custom vanities and an upgraded main level laundry room. Upstairs you will find a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite, two additional bedrooms, a third full bath and a cozy office area. Flex space exists above the garage and is accessible from inside the home or from a private outside entrance. Currently used as a game room, this space could be reimagined as a fourth bedroom (septic is a 4 bed system), an office, a workout space…anything you can imagine. Make your appointment! This one won’t last! This home is listed with the town as a 3 bedroom house but has a 4 bedroom septic and a flex room which could serve as a 4th bedroom/guest space.
