Welcome home to this impressive brick center hall colonial on 2+ acres on a private, manicured cul-de-sac! Bring your RV or boat- it will fit in the detached garage that is 50 feet deep and has extra high entry doors/high ceilings or have the mechanics/contractors workshop of your dreams, with an unfinished 2nd floor above to create your dream office/suite. This gracious property exudes elegance and warmth at the same time- a rare combination of breathtaking entertaining spaces and warm, unassuming casual spaces- all bathed in an abundance of natural light. The main level offers an airy two-story foyer, open living and dining rooms, a powder room, a roomy office, a huge family room centered on a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a two-story ceiling, a generous kitchen with a center island, a walk-in pantry, and a cheerful breakfast room overlooking the updated deck and lawn. A dual-entry laundry room and entry to the attached three-car garage finish this floor. Upstairs beckons with double staircases, a cavernous owners’ suite with a walk-in closet, spa bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower, 3 additional bedrooms, and two more full baths. The lower level features a double-door walk-up to the lawn, brand-new luxury plank flooring, a full bath, and tons of storage. The windows were replaced in 2025 (main house), and a new roof and HVAC system were installed in 2020. The nearly 50-foot-long detached garage has oversized doors, room for lifts, water and electric, and a staircase to a second floor that awaits your finishing touches. Store all your cars, toys, or even your pontoon boat (this owner does)- this structure is special! This turnkey home offers privacy and serenity in a very special pastoral setting- a true forever home!
