About This Home

This updated classic red brick Colonial, located on an oversized corner lot in the coveted Sunset Park neighborhood, offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath. Thoughtfully expanded, the home features timeless vintage details including plaster walls, crown moldings, hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and decorative millwork, all seamlessly blended with modern updates and mechanicals. The first floor welcomes you into a sun-filled living room with a stone fireplace flanked by a set of French doors that open to a charming wood-paneled office/sunroom with access to a paver patio. The dining room is perfect for large gatherings, with French doors leading to the expanded family room and kitchen. The family room, highlighted by transom windows, flows into the spacious kitchen featuring custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous island with seating, and a bright eating area with built-ins, a planning desk, and French doors leading out to the patio. Formal first floor powder room plus a spacious mudroom with slate flooring, built-ins, and ample storage lead to the custom deck and detached 2 car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling and French doors opening to a Juliette balcony. The primary bath includes a double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower and abundant closet space. Three additional spacious bedrooms share a charming vintage hall bath. The semi-finished third floor offers endless potential for additional living space. The expanded basement includes a large recreation room with excellent ceiling height, a fifth bedroom, full bath, laundry, and storage. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard features a generous brick paver patio and deck, ideal for outdoor living. A detached all-brick 2-car garage completes the home. Just steps from Sunset Park with walking and biking paths, playgrounds, tennis/pickleball courts, a bocce lane and sports fields. Prime walk-to-town location near shopping and restaurants. This Sunset Park charmer is not to be missed!
