18 N Hillside Ave

This home has had the same owners since it was built in 1951, & honey that kind of devotion is hard to find. 3 generations & 75 yrs later, it's been lovingly maintained, thoughtfully expanded, & remarkably never subjected to a reno involving gray laminate & motivational decals. In 2014, it received a rather fabulous addition. The renovated kitchen now opens to an expansive living/dining space w/vaulted ceiling & plenty of room for that sectional you've always wanted, cabinet no one knows where to put, & dining table you swore would fit into your last house. Glass doors open to a large, level backyard just waiting to become an outdoor oasis (patio, gardens, fire pit, or whatever else you've been saving to your inspo board). Equally impressive first-floor master w/vaulted ceiling, large private bath & walk-in closet. Sunroom is perfect for plants or an office where you can close the door & pretend you're not home. Large laundry/mudroom w/full-height pantry cabinets connects directly to the oversized 2 car garage. 2nd large bedroom completes the first floor, w/2 more upstairs. Between them sits an oversized powder room & the space to explore adding a shower or tub. Because, why not? Then there's the basement, w/higher ceilings than you'd expect & room for a gym, theater, rec room, or the belongings you promised yourself you'd sort through last year. Close to shopping, restaurants & Routes 10/46/80/15/206; walking distance to Franklin Elementary & Bryan's Luncheonette (IYKYK).
