Located at the top of Lincoln Drive, this center-hall colonial is ready for immediate occupancy. With 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths and one-half bath (on the first floor), there is ideal space for more than one home office. Upon entry, the vestibule and foyer lead to the living room with a working fireplace, an enclosed porch (a perfect den!), and the formal dining room with a bay window. Off the foyer is an extra-wide staircase to the 2nd floor, a step-down powder room, and the recently renovated kitchen. With cherry cabinets, granite countertops, a center island, farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen will be the hub of activity in this house. Complementing the kitchen area is a butler's pantry with a 2nd oven and bar sink with access to the 2nd floor from the back stairs. Access to the basement—with laundry, storage, and a partially finished extra room—is off the kitchen, as well as outdoor access to the driveway, and an oversized, heated 1-car garage. Moving upstairs, the main bedroom suite is at the front of the house. This bedroom suite has three built-in bureaus, two large closets, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in glass-enclosed shower and cherry vanity. Adjacent to the main bedroom is a second bedroom with access to the hall bath. Across the hall is the 3rd bedroom with a deep closet. Located above the garage, the large 4th bedroom provides natural light on three sides and boasts a large cedar closet. On the third floor, there are two more bedrooms at each end of the house with an abundance of light. Between the bedrooms are two closets, a large storage room, and a 3rd full bath. The high-velocity A/C system located in the attic ensures that the entire house is comfortable in all seasons.
