About this home

Stately and spacious, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial in the coastal town of York offers classic details and generous rooms. The home has a sense of presence that is hard to miss. A palladium window fills the foyer with natural light and gives the entry a warm, homey feel, while a balcony adds a touch of classic Colonial character. The formal living room features wood floors and a classic brick fireplace and connects to a versatile room that could serve as an office, library, or playroom, with access to the attached deck. The formal dining room features wainscoting and flows naturally toward the spacious Chef's kitchen, which offers granite countertops, cherry oak cabinets, and a sunny four-season room just off the kitchen. The adjacent great room is a natural and relaxing gathering space, with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace framed by stone accents that climb the wall. A large bonus room above the attached two-car garage provides additional space for a media room, office, studio, or playroom. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features new flooring and a walk-in closet. The newly renovated primary en suite bath includes heated floors, a comfort on chilly winter mornings. Outside, the level 2.26 lot abuts a nature preserve and features established landscaping, flower beds, a paved driveway, and a well-kept, manicured lawn. French drains help manage drainage in the lovely backyard, while a charming shed made from wood reclaimed from an over 200-year-old barn adds a bit of New England character. Located in York, the property is close to Long Sands Beach, local farm stands, and area amenities. Portsmouth, with its lively downtown and waterfront, is approximately 20 minutes away, while Boston Logan International Airport is about an hour away. This is a substantial York home with room to settle in, gather, and make it your own with the final touches it deserves.
