Set on a generous 0.46-acre lot, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath reimagined New England Colonial spans 3,008 sq. ft. of timeless character and modern flexibility. A welcoming farmer's porch is perfect for enjoying a beautiful sunrise. Step inside to be greeted by soaring 9.5-ft ceilings and expansive windows that flood the home with brilliant natural light. The main level showcases rich hardwood floors, an expansive working fireplace, and a spacious chef's kitchen featuring quartz countertops, double ovens, a gas stove, wine chiller, and a center island that celebrates the heart of the home.
