Privately set on 17 acres of land, this oversized Colonial offers an exceptional sense of seclusion, abundant living space and an outdoor setting designed for entertaining and relaxation. The backyard feels like a private retreat with an inground pool, an impressive granite outdoor kitchen and cabana featuring retractable screens, electricity and a fireplace all surrounded by black wrought iron fencing. Inside, the spacious kitchen offers an oversized island, windows overlooking the pool, gas fireplace, generous dining area and direct access to the backyard. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the kitchen and family room, which also features built-ins and a window seat with storage. The first floor offers flexibility with the front room currently being used as a home office, an additional TV room/den and a large half bath conveniently located near the side entrance. Upstairs are three oversized bedrooms with hardwood floors and generous closets, including a primary suite with tray ceiling, private bath with jetted tub and separate vanity area. Second-floor laundry and a large attic provide additional convenience and storage. The detached two-car garage is finished above with potential for a home office, guest space or possible ADU (the property has a 4 bedroom septic, passing Title 5 in hand) The partially finished basement includes a home gym, utility area, storage area and half bath with convenient access from the pool area.

ADU Potential

Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 3,046 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 747,396 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
