Centerville! The epitome of New England Colonial charm is here at 496 Essex Street. With custom wood beams and gleaming floors, the detail is apparent throughout. The efficient U-shaped kitchen with attached dining room is bathed in light on 3 sides. With room for a table that can easily accomodate 8 or more, it's ideal for gatherings. The spacious living room with fireplace is a warm and welcoming. A bedrom/office and full bath complete this floor. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, a second generous full bath, and a bonus room that has been utilized as a walk in closet. The fun continues with the vintage built-in bar and bonus rec room in the basement. Located on a nice lot, the home has a large wood deck and an enclosed porch that connects to the garage and doubles as a mudroom for convenience. Enjoy being just minutes to the newly refurbished tennis courts and playground at Cahill Park, and just a few minutes more to Centerville School.
