Welcome home to this beautifully maintained colonial in a Colchester neighborhood. Built in 2011, this 2,000 square foot home blends classic architecture with quality finishes throughout. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, plenty of custom cabinetry, an island, and a sunny breakfast nook, making it an easy spot for everyday meals or entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a family room centers on an elegant gas fireplace. The formal dining room's rich hardwood floors carry into the living room, creating an easy, open flow for hosting. Step outside to a spacious deck overlooking a large backyard on a generous .57 acre lot, ready for summer barbecues with mature landscaping already in place. The main level also includes a convenient half bath, along with a dedicated laundry room and mudroom for everyday convenience. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two full bathrooms, including a primary suite with a tray ceiling, an expansive walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath. The owners have also recently finished a large portion of the basement, adding a built-in bar and a large egress window that brings in plenty of natural light, ready to use as a rec room or extra living space. Rounding out the home is an attached two-car garage, a full irrigation system, a brand new furnace installed last year, and central air conditioning. Tucked on a quiet dead end street with just nine homes, the neighborhood has a close-knit feel that's increasingly rare to find. The location can't be beat either, just 20 minutes to Lake Champlain, Burlington, and Burlington International Airport, or about an hour to Smugglers Notch or Sugarbush for skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. From the finished basement to the oversized lot, this home has room to grow into for years to come.
