This fresh-faced Colonial is sheer perfection, recently renovated down to the studs in 2015-2016 throughout most of the home, with 21st-century enhancements and a city chic flair in all the places today’s homebuyer will appreciate. An inviting room-sized bluestone front porch with beadboard ceiling adds instant curb appeal, and is the perfect place from which to greet visitors and enjoy summer repasts. A woodburning fireplace is a modern focal point of the living room, with sleek imported Italian marble-like surround and contemporary mantel, along with handsome crown moldings and a plantation-shuttered bay window.
