Listing broker remarks

Ideally located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this inviting Colonial is just a short distance from town center, the commuter train, and schools. A welcoming living room with a gas fireplace and custom cabinetry sets the tone as you enter. The spacious, open-concept kitchen and dining area is bright and sunny, with a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring a center island with seating—perfectly suited for everyday living and entertaining. A French door leads to a versatile den or home office, offering a tucked-away space for work or relaxation. The second and third floors provide flexible bedroom options, with access to an expanded third floor offering additional possibilities. Outside, the fantastic backyard adjacent to the Brook Path, features lush foliage and a level lawn ideal for outdoor fun and games. A wonderful home with space to grow, personalize, and enjoy for years to come!— Rutledge Properties
