Welcome to this lovingly maintained colonial in the heart of Essex Junction, offered by its original owner for the first time. A true cream puff with newer systems, this home has been cared for with pride and it shows. Step inside to find a bright eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and a charming formal dining room framed by a large picture window overlooking the private backyard. The formal living room features a classic wood-burning fireplace, while a cozy den offers the perfect spot to unwind and leads directly to a three-season porch and deck-ideal for summer evenings or morning coffee. Upstairs, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, offering space for everyone. The two-car garage provides convenience and storage, while the spacious, landscaped lot is a true highlight-home to mature maples, raspberries, colorful rhododendrons, and a stunning burning bush. Located in one of Essex Junction's most sought-after neighborhoods, this home sits on the plowed sidewalk side of the street, perfect for walking to nearby parks, schools, and village amenities. A rare combination of space, comfort, and location-ready to welcome its next chapter.
