Classic Style Meets Incredible Space (With an Easy NYC Commute)Boasting exceptional curb appeal with its striking stone garden walls, this 4-bedroom center-hall Colonial delivers the perfect mix of traditional character and modern versatility. Located in a highly sought-after neighborhood just minutes from NYC bus and train lines, shopping, and major roadways, it offers a lifestyle of total convenience.Inside, the classic layout offers something modern open-concept homes often miss: a true sense of balance. You have elegant, distinct spaces for formal dinners and quiet nights in, featuring rich hardwood floors and decorative molding. But the back of the house is where daily life happens. The bright kitchen complete with warm cherry cabinetry and stainless steel appliances opens directly into a sunken den. Anchored by a classic brick, wood-burning fireplace, this is the ultimate spot to unwind.When weather permits, your living space doubles. Slide open the glass doors to a backyard built for entertaining: a raised porch steps down to a massive, level concrete patio and an expansive, flat lawn with a storage shed. It's private, secure for pets, and entirely ready for summer barbecues.Upstairs, pristine hardwood floors carry through all four bedrooms. The primary suite serves as a quiet retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and an updated private bath with a glass-enclosed step-in shower. The other three bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall bath with timeless tilework.The real wildcard is downstairs. The fully finished basement adds a massive amount of usable square footage, featuring a huge recreation room, a dedicated utility room with a sink, and two flexible bonus rooms. Whether you need a quiet remote work office, a home gym, or a media room, the space is already done for you. Complete with an oversized two-car garage and a large driveway with parking for four cars, this home is entirely ready for its next chapter.
