Description
Back On Market-Buyer changed their mind! This is your opportunity. Step inside and you'll feel like you're HOME! This 4 Bedroom, 1 and a half Bath Colonial will become your retreat from the world. There's nothing left to be done here. You will be thrilled with the thoroughness and quality of the updates. The sprawling Living Room welcomes you in to a house with room enough for all (there are four bedrooms upstairs). The Kitchen features Skylights, an island, and a Dining area with sliders out to an AMAZING yard that has to be seen to be believed! The updates/remodeling are evident everywhere you look. Enjoy the outdoors on the massive patio while entertaining. The basement has so much functional space with a one car under garage that's been used as a workshop for years. There's not much involved to change this if you desired to use it as a garage again. This is extremely energy efficient with municipal gas and a heat pump system (with a mini-split also).
