The Story

A home held quietly by the woods

Set on 2.31 private acres at the end of a quiet side street, this Contemporary Colonial lives as a retreat. Large Andersen windows line nearly every room, so the forest becomes part of the architecture, morning light filtering through the trees, the seasons turning just beyond the glass. Its dramatic peaked rooflines are European-inspired architecture, a deliberate, elegant design that gives the home its distinctive silhouette. Conservation trails begin at the doorstep, four seasons of walking through the Delaney Watershed, with the town fields, tennis and basketball courts only minutes on.

Inside, a 2025 renovation gave the house a fresh, warm heart. A quartz kitchen with a large island opens to the living room, where a brick fireplace anchors the space and doors swing out to the patio for easy entertaining. Refinished Brazilian cherry runs underfoot. Above, a spectacular primary suite rises into a cathedral ceiling with skylights and a private balcony over the forest. It is a home built for gathering and for quiet, with room, still, to grow.

Room to Grow

Rare upside, already built in

Finished today at about 3,121 SF, the home holds something most houses this size do not, a pre-plumbed, ±1,600 SF walk-up third floor that already reads as two levels, vaulted with a loft tucked above, an attic in the attic, plus a full basement and workshop below. Picture a north-facing home office of about 18 by 15, a south-facing hobby room of about 15 by 10, and a children's play loft of about 15 by 10 up in the loft. Finish it out well past 4,600 SF, on your own timeline. It is unfinished potential today, and buyer to verify feasibility and permitting.
