A rare opportunity for true multi-generational living, this expansive and meticulously maintained Center Hall Colonial features a private in-law suite / mother-daughter apartment with its own entrance, complete with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath--perfect for extended family, guests, or flexible living arrangements. Complementing this versatility is a fully finished basement with a large soundproof room, ideal for a home theater, music studio, gym, or quiet retreat. Ideally situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on 1.24 acres, this impressive home offers over 5,000 square feet of living space and is far larger than it appears. The two-story foyer with hardwood floors is flanked by formal living and dining rooms, both also featuring hardwood flooring. The sunken family room showcases soaring two-story ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a dramatic yet inviting centerpiece of the home. The large eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, breakfast bar overlooking the family room, and a full appliance package. Just off the kitchen are a spacious mudroom and laundry room with slop sink. The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a primary suite with tray ceiling, sitting area, walk-in closet, and a full bath with double sinks, whirlpool tub, and separate shower stall. One additional bedroom features a private en-suite bath, and an open walkway overlooks the foyer and family room below. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a covered back porch leading to a sprawling backyard featuring an in-ground pool, hot tub, pickleball court, batting cage, storage shed, and ample open space. Parking is abundant with a large two-car driveway, additional rear parking, and extra space at the end of the cul-de-sac. Lovingly cared for by the original owners, this exceptional home offers privacy, space, and unmatched versatility rarely found in one property.
