Property Description
Open House: Sunday, September 27th, 2-4pm. Built by the developer who created the neighborhood, the home he chose to build for himself, this distinctive brick Colonial occupies the neighborhoods largest lot, retained by the builder as his own residence. This fully detached home presents a rare opportunity to restore, renovate, and make your own a property with an unusually generous setting. Set on a large, level lot with mature plantings, the home enjoys abundant natural light from all four sides and a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The classic Colonial floor plan offers five bedrooms, four full baths, and one half bath, with generous rooms and flexible living spaces throughout. The main level features a formal living room opening to a bright family room, with French doors leading to a sizable deck overlooking the expansive, beautifully planted yard. A glass-enclosed breakfast room adjoins the family room, creating a welcoming space for casual meals or enjoying the garden year-round. Upstairs, an exceptionally spacious primary suite occupies approximately half of the second level. The large bedroom includes a private den/office, creating a comfortable retreat with dedicated space for work or relaxation. Additional bedrooms and full baths provide ample room for family and guests. The lower level offers excellent flexibility for a game room, media room, gym, or recreation space. A full bath enhances the versatility of this level and creates potential for an in-law or au pair suite, subject to the buyers desired configuration and applicable requirements. With its classic brick architecture, exceptional lot, mature landscaping, abundant natural light, expansive primary suite, and versatile lower level, this distinctive home offers a rare opportunity to create something special while preserving the character and proportions of the original residence. Offered as an estate sale and sold strictly as-is, the property awaits its next chapter. Photos are virtually staged to realize full potential!
