Location is key and this charming home is on one of the prettiest streets in the Colonial Park area! From the moment you enter the foyer you realize this is not your average Colonial. This home is brimming with fine custom crafted mouldings, beamed ceilings, handsome pillars that delineate the LR space from the DR that features a FP with pretty tile, an ornate mantel and a built-in CC. The eat-in KIT boasts a real tin ceiling, Corian counter tops and cherry cabinets. There is a mud room for storing your day to day items and a half bath. A unique split staircase allows access to the second floor from either the kitchen or the foyer. The second floor hosts three BR's, an office, full bath with subway tile and a cozy alcove that beckons you to curl up with a good book. A finished, heated third floor provides multiple choices for use - family room, media room or a fourth BR. Enjoy the spring and summer from the front porch or rear patio.
