Description
Step inside this EXQUISITELY RENOVATED Colonial Farmhouse and you'll think you're in a much pricier custom built home. The generous front porch beckons entry into what feels like a breath of fresh air. The warm and bright Living Room w/gas fireplace is enhanced by built-ins and flows seamlessly into the sparkling Chef's Kitchen w/quartz topped counters & island with seating. Chic mirrored bar is the star of the Dining Room, making entertaining a breeze. The Den/Office has stunning built-ins and could be reverted back to a 4th bedroom. Elegant half bath and mudroom with more built-ins and full washer/dryer complete the main level leading to a delightfully private fenced yard w/patio and fire pit area. Upstairs, the en-suite primary bedroom features a luxurious Spa-Like Bathroom w/double sinks, quartz topped vanity, marble tiled floor, soaking tub AND walk-in shower. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a beautiful hall bathroom with tub. Partially finished basement is ideal for play or exercise and the attached garage offers even more storage space. This gem of a home is very convenient for strolling: 2 minutes to Gould Manor Park, 7 minutes to the Fairfield Metro train station, plus easy strolls to restaurants, ice cream and more, with sidewalks all the way.
