Welcome to this beautifully updated 1,824 sq. ft. Colonial offering 4 spacious bedrooms and 1.5 baths, ideally situated on a lovely tree-lined street. An arched front door provides a distinctive introduction to the home, while graceful arched openings between the living room, dining room and sunroom add architectural character and create a natural flow throughout the main living areas. The generous living/family room is anchored by a handsome brick fireplace with gas insert, topped by a rich, dark mantel and flanked by attractive sconces, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. Just beyond is a home office/sunroom area, loaded with windows, and an additional bonus room is separated by French doors -an incredibly versatile setting for relaxing, working or play. A slider provides direct access to the backyard. The living room flows naturally into a gracious formal dining room, creating an ideal layout for family gatherings and entertaining. Nearby, the renovated eat-in kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and new dishwasher. A built-in banquette dining area with sconce lighting provides an inviting spot for casual meals and morning coffee. A rear side entrance from the driveway opens to a flexible area that was formerly the laundry, but seller preferred using it as a mudroom so laundry was moved to the basement- but still not. A half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, a well-designed hallway leads to 4 generously sized bedrooms, each with plenty of windows, overhead lighting and ceiling fans. The comfortable second-floor layout is complemented by an updated family bath with a new vanity and flooring. Fresh paint, recently refinished hardwood floors, new lighting and replacement windows add to the home's move-in-ready appeal. A second side entrance opens to the main hall and also provides direct access to the well-lit basement, featuring a refreshed, epoxy floor, laundry area, 200-amp electrical service, hot water tank approx. 2021 and gas-fired boiler approx. 2014. Out back, a charming, stone wall makes a natural backdrop for the abutting woods of Laurel park - an appealing connection to the outdoors. Enjoy the best of this sidewalk-lined neighborhood-walk to Bliss park and its new children's playground, as well as nearby schools, shops, restaurants, dog-walking trails and the library.
