4 bed • 3 bath • Single Family
Welcome to your own private oasis! Tucked away at the quiet end of a family-friendly cul-de-sac, this hidden gem sits on a massive pie-shaped lot backing directly onto a forested greenbelt, just steps from miles of scenic riverfront trails. The freshly painted (2025) open-concept main floor features gleaming hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and a seamless flow through the dining area and premium Barzotti kitchen, which boasts a center island, stainless steel appliances, and modern pot lighting. Step directly out to the spacious back deck and your private 16' x 32' on-ground pool, perfect for summer entertaining. Three comfortable bedrooms and a 4pc bath complete this level, while a secluded primary suite addition by Chicopee Craftsmen delivers a peaceful retreat with large windows overlooking the pool and greenspace, plus a spa-like ensuite with whirlpool tub and standalone shower. The expansive finished basement offers ultimate flexibility with a rec room, home office, fitness room, craft room, 3-piece bath, and laundry. With major updates including a new furnace (2024), rental water heater (2025), roof shingles (2021), an insulated garage, and an updated hydro panel, this move-in-ready home is completely worry-free. Don't wait—you could be lounging poolside by summer!
