[ SOLD for $432,500 ] This could quite possibly be your “dream home”!! This custom-built all-American Colonial reveals 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 fireplaces, all wonderfully wrapped up in approximately 2800 square feet! The park-like backyard beckons pool parties and family gatherings.
While the majority of the home is on the main floor and is laid out like a ranch-style, the second floor consists of one bedroom with gorgeous hardwood floors and private full bathroom, plus an enormous walk-in “grandmother’s attic” just like you see in the movies!
Original charming 1936 features such as hardwood floors, built-ins, ample closet space, and elegant fireplace are wonderful…and they flawlessly blend with the modern conveniences such as double-paned windows and French doors, new $15,000 central air/heat, indoor laundry, 50-year composition roof (only 5 years old), and updated kitchen with lots of cabinetry.
There are two master bedrooms, one on each side of the house for privacy, and one has a private 3/4 bathroom. The private backyard boasts an extensive brick patio surrounding the pool and area for tables, chairs and lounges.
You can be in your new home in time for the holidays!
