This hidden brick and shingle Colonial home, custom-built in 1976, offers a rare opportunity to renovate or re-create the home of your dreams, wonderfully tucked away at the end of a tree-lined drive on 1.36 acre of prime Northside property. Offered in "as is" condition, the spacious rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors and classic floor plan provide excellent bones. A stately fireside living room and gracious formal dining room each have Palladian-topped French doors that converge onto one of two expansive verdant lawns that provide a secluded, idyllic setting for extended outdoor dining and entertaining. The large eat-in kitchen with breakfast area enjoys picture-windowed property views and opens to the lawn area as well, with a nearby laundry room and mudroom that accesses the parking court and two-car attached garage. A paneled family room with brick fireplace and built-ins offers a quiet respite, while a first-floor master bedroom suite with front and back views offers easy living. Three large bedrooms are located on the second level, including a full hall bath with tub shower. Ample closet space includes a walk-in cedar closet and walk-in attic storage room. Lower level recreation rooms complete the picture. This rare offering with its unparalleled property, and exceptional walk-to-town and train location, is a fabulous find for the savvy homebuyer.
