	This new 4-bedroom colonial connects to a spacious Accessory Dwelling Unit("ADU"), a large ground-level apartment. Family members can walk, instead of having to drive, to schools, activities, and all this college town has to offer. The new main house is free and open, having been designed for ease of living, comfort, flexibility, and durability. Its thoughtfully selected state of the art features are too numerous to list here but include quartz countertops with tile backsplash, microwave drawer, vent-out chimney hood over the gas range, possible EV hook-up in the garage, and on the deck a gas connection for a grill. The ADU has its own separate entrance, driveway, and parking. Historically, it began as the “Garrison house” of a distinguished colonial patriot. Original wood gunstock corners, beams, and cupboards and the facades of the original fireplaces remain as charming features, though you’ll appreciate that it has been brought up to modern living standards, examples being central AC, energy efficiency upgrades and a great kitchen with new appliances. All its systems are separate from those of the main house. Something old, something new, ready for your particular life-style. Also listed as MLS#5087372
