Listing broker remarks

'An oasis in the city' is an understatement for this beautiful 3+ bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial. Nestled on an expansive 17,000+ SqFt lot, the outdoor grounds are a true labor of love, blooming with vibrant perennials and mature shrubs. The main level is designed for effortless living and entertaining. The granite/SS kitchen is ready to let your inner chef out, with plenty of counter & cabinet space. Gather in the cozy living room, anchored by a brick fireplace. Host dinners in the formal DR, or unwind in the sun-drenched sunroom. The showstopper is the dramatic family room, boasting cathedral ceilings and direct access to a large rear deck, overlooking your private backyard paradise. Upstairs, the second level hosts three bedrooms and a full bath, including a primary with walk-in closet. A full staircase leads to the attic, for storage (or potential expansion). The walk-out lower level offers incredible versatility, featuring a bright, completely above ground studio or in-law suite with separate, stairless entry - perfect for multi-generational living or a quiet home office. Outside, the yard features a secluded hot tub and multiple areas for gardening, playing catch and alfresco dining. Complete with ample parking, this rare property is a must see!— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
