Back and better than ever! During its brief time off the market, the seller completed valuable improvements, including a brand-new roof over the balcony/deck and attached garage, along with beautifully refinished and updated flooring in the living and dining rooms, making this exceptional Colonial even more appealing. Rich in character and timeless charm, this spacious home sits on a picturesque corner lot directly across from James M. Carroll Park. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, while a thoughtfully designed addition includes a two-car garage and a versatile mother/daughter or au pair suite complete with a bedroom, summer kitchen, living area, and private entrance-ideal for extended family, guests, or multigenerational living. Enjoy summer concerts from your second-floor balcony overlooking the park or relax in the screened gazebo surrounded by mature landscaping, privacy-enhancing trees, and a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for recreation or a future in-ground pool. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces include an upper balcony/deck with park views and a lower-level deck for family gatherings. Inside, you'll appreciate the home's historic craftsmanship, highlighted by impressive two-foot-thick stone walls, a stunning stone fireplace, a spacious family room, and a large attic offering exceptional storage or future expansion potential. Additional features include a new roof over the balcony/deck and garage, a 15-year-old architectural roof on the main home, 200-amp electrical service with generator hookup, an oversized driveway, and a freshly painted exterior. Convenient sidewalks in both directions provide easy access to shopping, parks, and everyday amenities, while the home's location on a bus route offers added convenience.
