About this home

The perfect marriage of historic charm and modern amenities, this beautifully updated Colonial is set along a quiet Springdale street just a short walk to the train station. Offering nearly 2,000 sq ft, the home features a versatile, light-filled floor plan with newly refinished hardwood floors and a freshly painted interior. The formal living room flows into the dining room and family room, creating an inviting layout that circles into the spacious eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook and sliders to the backyard. A first-floor flex space is ideal for a home office or playroom, while the covered front porch offers another spot to relax. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms and a newly renovated spa-like full bath. Outside, enjoy a spectacular entertaining oasis featuring a new bluestone patio with sail shade and electrical setup for an outdoor TV, surrounded by beautifully manicured, fully fenced tiered grounds with classic stone walls, fruit trees and blueberry bushes. Additional highlights include a new roof, new skylights, new radiator covers, natural gas heat, cooking and hot water, plus abundant attic and basement storage. Just a 5-minute walk to Springdale Station, and minutes to shopping/dining options in Springdale Village. Equidistant to Merritt Parkway and I-95 make this a commuters delight. This is the one you have been waiting for!
