Nestled on a quiet circle in the sought-after Bates School neighborhood, this classic Center Hall Colonial blends traditional elegance with modern living. At the heart of the home is an amazing 27' kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a massive center island, and a sun-drenched breakfast area with a built-in banquette. For entertaining there is a lovely dining room with charming built-in, along with the grand piano-sized living room with a cozy fireplace and French doors to the private patio. The bright den could be used as the ideal home office. Upstairs, the private primary retreat is a sanctuary of its own, boasting a walk-in closet, beautifully remodeled bathroom, and a sun-filled sitting room with outdoor balcony. There are three more generously sized bedrooms and a 2nd floor laundry. The first floor mudroom is especially handy at this time of the year and the versatile lower level includes a large play area and separate gym or office. All in a quiet neighborhood setting!
