Neighborhood Description This wonderful updated colonial in Greenfield Hill has a Southport zip code and therein lies some of its value: "backcountry" yet convenient. In its 91-year history, this charming home at 284 Cedar Rd has had only 3 owners - no one wants to leave! The mature .7 acre lot abuts a 7-acre nature preserve so it feels like the country. Yet, it is only 1/8 mile to the Greenfield Center Common shopping area (with deli, store, bank, restaurant, shops, more) and only 1.7 miles to the Post Road and both train stations. Built in 1920 as a Cape Cod with a stone foundation (and the lore of having been a "speakeasy" in the '30s) this charming home grown to include a second floor over the main body of the house (3 bedrooms and 2 baths) and two-car garage with a studio/4th br with bath above (approx 550 sf). Mature plants and trees, a fenced yard and fertile former vegetable garden space make for user-friendly grounds. The eat-in kitchen was recently renovated in the past 2 years to include granite countertops, stainless steel and new appliances. A large breakfast area and window seat are cozy hang-out places. The living room-dining room-great room with fireplace steps out to a large cedar deck overlooking the sunny yard and wooded Open Space. All four bedrooms are generously sized and the master has its own bathroom with separate tub and shower. City water & sewer, hardwood floors, numerous large closets and a useable lower level (small play room, storage) are assets. This property with all of its amenities at this price in the Dwight Elementary School district is a rare find.
