Description

Old world charm & sophistication are found in this classic 1930 Colonial. Sporting westerly views and a sweeping, terraced back yard, the details and quality of this gem are found throughout. Professionally landscaped, there's a handsome Goshen Stone walk that welcomes all who approach. The warm and inviting floor plan has a plethora of light throughout the day. A recent addition ties nicely into the original part of the home and includes a large master bedroom suite complete with office, walk in closet and spa like bath with tiled shower and separate soaking tub. Laundry on the second floor a plus! On the lower level there is a family room with half bath and french doors to a sizable goshen stone patio - it's the perfect place to entertain and watch the sun set. Four total bedrooms and 3 baths are on the second floor - a BR, study and 1/2 bath on the third. An expansive screened porch overlooks the westerly views - 2 car garage, fenced yard and walk to town - an A+ location!

    "My commute to work is straight down Rt 9. Ten minutes, if that. I live here out of convenience. Neighborhood is college students on all sides. Not the most desirable neighbors. "

    "A quiet, private location great for kids and pets, and parents who want their kids to go out and play. Abuts (9th?) fairway and hole of Hickory Ridge CC (XC skiing out your back door). Look for wild chives, turtles, muskrats and garter snakes along banks of Plum Brook, which winds through north section of property. Most of soil on property has high clay content. Originally had (perhaps still has?) a working fireplace in the half-cellar (an underground spring precluded a full cellar). Lots of space in attic. Hallway in the bedroom 'wing' was long and wide - perfect for games like Mother-May-I, RedLight/ GreenLight, and Walk the Walls. Short walk to Mission Cantina, Moan & Dove, PVTA stop, gym, and Pre-through-6 schools. A snowplow, chainsaw and ride-on lawnmower are highly recommended. "
