A level private lot with mature landscaping for a buffer, in a great circular subdivision, is the setting for this classic hip-roof colonial with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and gleaming hardwood floors. Starting at the light-filled two-story foyer you are drawn into the formal dining room on one side and a formal living room on the other. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen with maple cabinets,and an island open to a casual dining area,  which overlooks the deck and fenced yard, and the family room with a fireplace, fitted with a pellet stove, sure to take the chill off on fall evenings. There is a  convenient first-floor laundry area. The spacious primary bedroom features an updated bath and walk-in closet. There are two roomy bedrooms in the middle of the second floor and a large bedroom/office at the end of the hallway that has built-in shelving and desk space overlooking the conservation area across the road. It would make a fantastic bedroom or double as a remote work area away from the main house, with double closets,eves storage plus a large hallway linen closet The basement features a utility room/combo pottery studio in one section, while the other sections are finished into a library/ game /exercise room with daylight walkup access to the yard that could also be additional office space for the remote worker.  This incredibly well-maintained one-owner home is a short drive to the highway and airport. Award-winning Bedford schools are a huge bonus!
