Including its fully finished basement, this colonial measures in at approximately 3,800 square feet of living space, making it a great choice for a large family that likes entertaining. It also includes a luxurious “owners'” suite creating an inner sanctuary where parents can get away. Being in an established neighborhood, the roomy one-acre lot is another great plus, offering plenty of outdoor play space for kids. The community lies just west of Route 301 so, once again, commuting ease was certainly a great selling point. All of that contributed to the sellers getting pretty close to their asking price, which also seemed well honed to sell. And look at the nearly $138,000 value increase since it last sold at the height of the boom in 2003. Perhaps it’s a little proof there’s still hope real estate values aren’t losing too much ground in the market downturn. According to Rosendale Realty, historically low interest rates coupled with a surplus of homes sets up a market with great purchasing opportunities. With five bedrooms, a full basement and a large lot, this home certainly supports that observation.
