This impressive detached Colonial offers nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of above-ground living space, plus approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of finished lower-level space, providing an exceptional amount of room and possibilities.

A separate powder room, laundry area, and convenient interior access to the attached two-car garage complete this level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a private dressing area and full en-suite bathroom. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the second floor. Abundant closets and storage throughout make this already spacious home even more functional. The expansive finished lower level is one of this property’s most distinctive features.
