Upstairs, the open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining room, sitting room, and living room with an ease that suits both quiet evenings and larger gatherings, alongside three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The primary suite offers its own soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanities, and a walk-in closet ready to be configured to your preference.

The construction quality is evident in the details, from a three-car garage and sound-dampening insulation in every upstairs bedroom wall and the laundry room, to a hydro-air heating system that keeps humidity comfortable through New England winters, over 110 recessed lights, and switches and outlets placed exactly where you'd want them. Hardwood floors run through the entire upper level. Sitting on a nearly half-acre lot lined with mature trees, the backyard offers genuine privacy, with a patio and deck that make outdoor living an easy extension of the home.
