About this House

Move right in to this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Saltbox Colonial offering over 2,600 sq. ft. of stylish living space, just minutes from town and beaches. Set on 1.63 lightly wooded acres, the property backs up to land trust and 33 acres of Cockaponsett State Forest, with seasonal views of Madison Lakes to the east. Designer touches throughout include walnut-stained wide board floors on the main level, an open floor plan, and an eat-in kitchen featuring Carrara marble countertops, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a large walk-in pantry, and additional cabinet pantry space with access to the back deck. Gather and entertain with ease in the open-concept dining room, living room with gas fireplace, and family room with a second gas fireplace - all flowing seamlessly together. A spacious foyer and updated powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite and three additional bedrooms all feature walnut-stained hardwood floors. Renovated marble baths and convenient upstairs laundry hookups add to the appeal. The finished walk-out lower level offers flexible space perfect for a playroom, office, or additional living area. Additional updates include replacement vinyl windows, a newer central air unit, and, most recently, a new furnace and hot water heater. A 2-car attached garage and serene natural setting make this a truly move-in-ready home! Photos are taken from remodel. Current Photos to come.
