Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this stately brick colonial sits on over half an acre and offers a private, resort-style backyard oasis complete with a heated inground saltwater pool and bubbling hot tub, perfect for unwinding or entertaining. Inside, thoughtful updates are found throughout, including a full renovation of the entire main level and kitchen in 2018, as well as refreshed bathrooms and newly replaced carpet on the upper level. All of it is accented by high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. A classic foyer greets you upon entry, flanked by formal living and dining rooms, each adorned with elegant crown molding, with the dining room further elevated by traditional wainscoting. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level, leading you into the dramatic two-story family room. Here, a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, while a vaulted ceiling with skylights brings in warmth and light. The family room connects seamlessly to the renovated kitchen, which features crisp white soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, a marble tile backsplash, and a spacious island topped with a contrasting-color granite countertop. A double door pantry offers additional storage and convenience. Tucked just off the family room is a private study with a full bath located just beside it, offering flexibility as a guest space or optional fifth bedroom. The laundry room is also located on the main level with direct access to the two-car garage. A stunning conservatory completes this level, boasting a cathedral ceiling and walls of windows that frame serene views of the backyard and pool. Upstairs, the newly carpeted upper level includes the tranquil primary suite with vaulted ceiling, two walk-in closets featuring built-in organizers, and a refreshed en-suite bath with a new double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath complete this level. The finished walkout lower level offers incredible versatility with laminate plank flooring, a sprawling recreation area currently used as an expansive gym, a modern full bath with large-format floor-to-ceiling tile and a rain shower head, and a bonus room ideal for hobbies, media, or guests. Additional highlights include a new roof installed in 2019 and a brand-new gutter system (2025). Outside, the fenced backyard retreat invites relaxation and enjoyment, centered around the heated inground pool and hot tub. The pool was fully renovated in 2018 with replastering and all-new equipment. With a two-car garage and a sought-after location on a peaceful street, this home balances classic charm with meaningful updates inside and out.
