A handsome Georgian-style brick façade with slate roof lend elegance and curb appeal to this classic five-bedroom center hall Colonial home, nestled in a prime Franklin School neighborhood convenient to town and schools. A tastefully renovated kitchen and baths make this home appealing to today’s homebuyer. Spacious formal rooms flank the reception hall in an enviable center hall floor plan conducive to gracious entertaining, with hardwood floors that run throughout. A generous family room features oversized windows that take in property views on three sides -- the perfect place for casual gatherings. Rich cherry cabinetry, sleek black granite countertops, white subway tile backsplashes and a center island enhance the kitchen, complete with high-end stainless steel appliances that include a Viking refrigerator, a six-burner Dacor cooktop with double ovens, and more. A corner work station/office area with a desk and custom built-ins adds versatility to the kitchen. The breakfast area is set beneath a high ceiling with a pretty ocular window and an expanse of windows that overlook the rear property. A walk-in pantry and nearby powder room add convenience, while a rear mudroom accesses the bluestone patio and private rear yard framed by attractive wrought iron fencing and plantings. A detached two-car garage with storage resides at the rear of the property. All five bedrooms are located on the second floor, including the master bedroom suite that features his- and hers- custom-fitted walk-in closets and a spacious master bath with double marble-topped vanity, a deep soaking tub and an oversized shower with multiple shower heads. One of the bedrooms enjoys a private sitting room or playroom--buyer's choice. A full hall bath with double vanity and tub shower completes this level. Stairs from the second-floor hallway lead to a fully floored walk-up attic that offers excellent expansion possibilities, if desired. The finished lower level recreation room provides extra space for leisure activities, with newer wall-to-wall carpeting and natural light, along with a full bath and shower, laundry room and large unfinished storage/workshop/utility room. Attractive extras include two-zone central air conditioning (2nd floor condenser new in 2016), interior and exterior painting (2016), and more. Location. Location. Location. This turnkey home is a special Summit find...one not to be missed.
