Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on over two beautifully landscaped acres, this updated Colonial offers 4,000+ square feet designed for the way people live today. At the center of the home is a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, walk-in pantry, coffee/wine bar, and an inviting dining area that works for everyday meals and larger gatherings. The adjoining family room with gas fireplace overlooks the private, tree-framed backyard, and a dedicated home office with French pocket doors provides an ideal work-from-home retreat. A private guest wing offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, long-term guests, or an au pair.
