Where Privacy, Space and Nature Come Together. Set on 5.48 acres in Berkley, this 4,220 sq ft Colonial offers a rare blend of space, privacy, and natural beauty with wooded trails, a meandering stream, a pond, and abundant wildlife. Built in 2002 and thoughtfully updated, the home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and flexible living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The updated kitchen opens to inviting living areas, while a wraparound porch and expansive grounds create a peaceful, park-like setting.
