Classic Colonial character, flexible living space, and exciting potential come together in this three-bedroom Shrewsbury home, ready for your personal touch. Enter inside to a spacious living room where a large picture window fills the space with natural light and a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point. The layout flows easily into the formal dining room, offering a dedicated setting for dinners and gatherings. Nearby, the dine-in kitchen provides ample cabinet storage and room for casual meals, with direct access to a versatile sunroom/mudroom brightened by a skylight. From here, sliding doors open to a screened-in porch with a ceiling fan, creating a comfortable spot to enjoy fresh air in warmer months. A convenient half bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms share a full bathroom just off the hallway. The finished basement extends the living area with a large family room, plus adjoining utility and storage space. Outside, a back deck overlooks the yard, while a separate shed keeps tools and seasonal items organized. With multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to refresh, personalize, and make it distinctly your own.
