Can a home hug you? This one feels like it can! Anything but "cookie cutter" this adorable colonial in a quiet neighborhood just off Chelmsord center offers unique warmth & character. Two fireplaces, many custom bult-ins, and a large, lit china cabinet add to the charm. A 17 foot living room with a sunny picture window, fireplace, hardwood floors & a full wall book case makes for an impressive entry. The rest of the first floor features an open layout that feels both roomy & welcoming - the true heart of this home where you will surely spend most of your time. The penninsula kitchen is open to the dining area and a 28' family room across the back of the house. A slider leads out to a patio & private walled yard with delightful perennial gardens. You'll relax and entertain here, but this is also a great enclosed space for small children or pets. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, hardwood floors, & two full baths. Just a short walk to the center's shops, restaurants, bike trail etc.
