Situated on a .77 acre wooded lot in a quiet cul de sac, this lovely brick Colonial boasts over 3500 sq feet of living space above ground, and another 1000 in the walkout finished basement. The sellers are the original owners of the property, maintaining and updating it through the years. Inside you’ll be greeted by the grand 2 story foyer, full of light from the Palladian window, with a gracefully curved staircase.
