Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom Colonial offering classic character, thoughtful updates and exceptional indoor/outdoor living. A standout feature is the seller’s assumable mortgage, currently carrying a 2.25% interest rate, which may offer qualified buyers favorable financing terms compared with current market rates, subject to lender approval and applicable loan-assumption requirements. A welcoming covered front porch opens to an interior featuring gleaming hardwood floors, rich original woodwork and period details. The inviting living room is centered around a fireplace, while the spacious dining room features a built-in hutch and sliders opening directly to a newer deck. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, abundant white cabinetry, tile flooring and a charming breakfast nook. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and a beautifully tiled full bath. Additional bonus space on the third floor provides flexibility for a home office, playroom or hobby space, while the finished lower level with half bath offers additional room for entertaining, recreation, fitness or everyday living. Outside, enjoy a private retreat with a fenced backyard, expansive decking, above-ground pool, patio, mature landscaping and an impressive stone grill/fireplace area. Owned solar panels installed in 2022, a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery storage system and EV charging station provide valuable energy-conscious upgrades. Off-street parking completes the package.
