This isn't just a colonial. It's the kind of house where friends' bikes pile up in the yard because everyone ends up here. Where the windows throw soft morning light across butcher block counters while coffee drips and the neighborhood hums awake. Where you can walk to Callahan Park in three minutes flat and know the people you pass on the way. Inside, the flow hits that rare balance: open enough for a crowd, tucked enough for quiet. The kitchen is the heartbeat, wide open to the dining room and spilling into the living room, so no one misses the conversation. Handmade AO Glass pendants hang over the breakfast bar, casting just the right light. A dedicated first-floor home office makes room for the way we live now. On the second floor, three bedrooms and a full bath keep it classic. One floor up, you have another bedroom and bit more privacy. Lots of closets and a full walkout basement with storage for skis, bikes, or whatever hobby you take up next. Fresh paint inside and out, a new roof, and new boiler in the last four years - the bones are solid, but there's still space to make it yours. Outside? A big backyard ready for garden beds or late summer dinners under string lights. The Five Sisters neighborhood wraps around you here - walkable, bikeable, approachable. It's less about the specs and more about the feel: warm, well-loved, and ready for its next chapter.
