Description

This mid-century center-hall Colonial offers a great location near downtown, a custom raised deck spacious enough to seat 15, and an interior updated and expertly accented by the resident interior designer. On entering the foyer, the overall ambiance is welcoming and warm, with soft neutrals on the walls, original painted woodwork, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Twin arched doorways lead on the right to the living room with a newly lined wood burning fireplace, built-in window seat with storage, and bookcases, and on the left to the dining room (currently in use as a decorator?s studio) lit by a stunning chandelier.The sunny kitchen features terra cotta porcelain tile on the radiant-heated floor; white cabinetry and granite counters; stainless steel appliances (including a five-burner gas stove); corner sink beneath a casement window with a view of Main Street; center island with bar seating and a prep sink; a French door leading to the deck; and a breakfast nook beneath a trio of six-over-one windows framing views of the deck and backyard, abloom in summer with white hydrangeas, lavender and other deer-resistant perennials. New windows throughout the home, new microwave and Bosch dishwasher.A hallway connects the kitchen to the living room and houses a pantry; a half bath accented with Thibaut wallpaper and a furniture vanity with open shelves, marble top and white undermount sink; and access to the partly finished basement with a media space, powder room and concealed storage area with shelving.At the back of the home, a spacious laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer and storage cabinets offers two points of egress, one to the driveway and the other to the mudroom and attached one-car garage. At the far side of the kitchen, a cozy family room offers built-in bookcases and cabinetry, and views of the backyard. Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to the master bedroom on the left, where a pair of vintage French doors conceal the closet, and three bedrooms on the right. Both bathrooms feature tub/shower combos, with one delivering a vibrant pop of color courtesy of the iridescent blue floor tile and coordinating glass wall accents.Location wise, enjoy sidewalk access to Toll Gate School, and a downtown celebrated for its boutiques and eateries, plus easy commuting to Philadelphia and NYC via nearby train stations and highways.
