This Essex Colonial has charm, space, and all the right updates. In the past few years this home has had a total kitchen renovation, owners' suite bath renovation, and various updates to improve efficiency and amp up curb appeal. Set on an oversized exterior corner lot at the top of West Hillcrest Road, this home is surrounded by a beautiful mix of shade and sun, with perennials and garden beds waiting for their next owners. When events resume at the fairgrounds nearby, pull up a chair on your back deck and listen to all the great concerts we've been missing! Inside, the first level will wow you with the beautiful wood and tile flooring, sunny dining room, massive living room with attractive wood fireplace, and bonus room leading to the deck. And did we mention the renovated kitchen? It is gorgeous! Tasteful quartz counters and grey cabinets, and all stainless steel appliances. Don't forget to peek into the half bath for some fun wallpaper! Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which are huge, and two bathrooms. Main hall bath has a tub plus separate shower stall, and owners' suite bath has been upgraded with a tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and sliding barn door. The attached garage can fit so much more than one car, so you have plenty of space for all your gear and toys. A quick jaunt down the hill will bring you to Pearl Street for everything you could need, and a couple blocks over are Summit Street and Thomas Fleming Schools. Showings begin Friday 5/21/21
