About this home
A short stroll to Cornell or Chippewa Park for swimming, pickle ball, tennis or watching a ball game. This expanded Colonial feels like "home" the moment you arrive. A classic two story design welcomes you. From the front entry, every detail of this 14 room residence has been thoughtfully layed out for everyday enjoyment. The main level features a smart plan that effortlessly supports the many demands of modern life. Just off the foyer, you'll find flexible spaces ideal for formal living, a dedicated play area, or even a more private reading nook-each room ready to adapt as your household's needs change. At the heart of the home is the expanded and modern kitchen, a true gathering space where form and function come together. An expansive center island invites casual conversations over morning coffee, while the adjacent eating area is perfectly positioned for family dinners or weekend brunches. Rich cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a thoughtful layout make meal preparation both practical and pleasurable. The family room, with its vaulted ceilings, is a space you'll be drawn to for relaxation or viewing your favorite programs. Easy access to the deck and fenced backyard, blending indoor and outdoor living. This is an ideal backdrop for summer barbecues, pets at play, and alfresco dining with friends and family. Convenience is thoughtfully woven into the first floor with 1.5 baths on this level-perfect for guests and busy households-and a designated child's play area that keeps toys and activities easily accessible yet neatly contained. Each room on the main level offers flexibility, whether you're hosting a crowd, working from home, or simply enjoying a quiet night in. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four spacious bedrooms, each offering a sense of calm and privacy. Generous closets, brightly lit windows, and comfortable proportions create restful retreats for every member of the household. In addition, there is a very large dedicated space ideal for a homebased business-private office, studio, consulting room, or study area, this flexible area supports productivity without sacrificing the comfort of home. Two full baths on this level provide convenience for busy mornings and peaceful nighttime routines. The finished basement expands your living space even further. Here, you'll find a large recreation room that can easily serve as a game room or fitness area. With a full bath on this level, family members can enjoy their own private space. This level adds a valuable layer of versatility, accommodating everything from kids' sleepovers to extended stay visitors. Outdoors, the fenced yard offers peace of mind and freedom-perfect for pets, young children, and anyone who loves to relax in a secure, private setting. The deck becomes a natural extension of the home creating memories of laughter and fun. This is a space designed for those special moments. An attached 2-car garage provides added convenience year round, offering direct access to the home and ample room for storage of sports gear, tools, and seasonal decor. Just a short distance from parks and playgrounds for fresh air and outdoor fun.
