Overview

This 1925 Silvermine quintessential colonial (think Mercantile, think GrayBarns) is a WOW home: its coziness is at the core of its appeal, with design the CLINCHER. Broad-plank natural hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, three bath renovations in white, wood, and gold/brass, updated light fixtures, and handsome hardware define the interior. Living space spans three levels, offering separation and privacy. The first level features an open flow of living room, dining room, and kitchen, plus an office linking to the two-car garage. The second level offers four bedrooms and two hall baths with sliding barn doors. The walk-out lower level includes to one side a sun-dappled finished parlor/potential alternate bedroom with an oversized hearth-style fireplace, and to the other unfinished space for laundry, storage, mechanicals, and gym or studio. A lofty floored walk-up attic provides expansion potential. Glimpses of original craftsmanship add warmth and authenticity. Outside is the SHOWSTOPPER: a sweeping lawn leading to 130 feet of "river runs through it" frontage on the Silvermine River. Set on a cul-de-sac of large lots and storybook homes, with walking, biking, exploring, nearby schools, shopping, and transportation all part of the lifestyle-live where that lifestyle can become home.
