Tucked well back from the road, a sweeping curved drive leads to this substantial Colonial, beautifully set on a combined 25.5 acres with Munn Brook winding through the property. A welcoming front porch accented with brick and stone sets the tone before you step into the central foyer. To the left, the formal dining room features a fireplace, while the expansive and beautifully updated front-to-back kitchen becomes the heart of the home with a center island, generous dining area, its own fireplace, and sliders opening to a two-level composite deck overlooking the broad, rolling backyard. The first floor also presents a large bedroom with double closets and an updated full bath, offering valuable flexibility for guests or one-level living.To the right of the foyer, you enter a spacious living room and continue through French doors into a sun-filled sunroom-a wonderful spot to enjoy the changing seasons and peaceful wooded surroundings.Upstairs, another generously sized front-to-back bedroom is joined by a third bedroom and full bath. The finished lower level adds even more versatile living space with a comfortable recreation room, third full bath, mini-split, and an installed escape window, creating excellent potential for a private suite, guest space, office, or extended living area.Outside, the property truly comes into its own. Enjoy the in-ground heated pool, hot tub, fenced yard area, two-car garage, shed, and additional outbuilding, all surrounded by remarkable acreage and privacy. The land also carries fascinating documented Girl Scout camp history, with remnants of former camp structures still found on the property. Horses were kept here in the past; buyers should verify current permitted use with the City of Westfield.Gas heat, central air, and an extraordinary combination of space, recreation, history, and natural beauty make this a property that simply cannot be understood from the road. Come experience 363 Loomis Street-and the 25.5 acres that make it so much more than a house.
