Tucked on a quiet neighborhood street, this classic Dutch Colonial delivers the lifestyle buyers want-nearly 3,000 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths-paired with resort-style outdoor living. Inside, sun-splashed hardwood floors flow through flexible living/entertaining spaces: a front living room, formal dining, and an open family room off an updated chef's kitchen with stone backsplash, granite counters, island, and abundant storage. The second level offers four comfortable bedrooms, including a bedroom suite with private bath, plus a hall bath to serve the additional bedrooms. Out back is the mic-drop: a free-form in-ground pool framed by an expansive natural-stone patio-multiple zones for grilling, dining, and lounging-set against mature trees for privacy. Solar panels help offset electric (see disclosures), and the two-car attached garage connects to a circular driveway for easy in/out and extra parking. Oil heat/baseboard. Thoughtful touches throughout: sliders to the patio, built-ins around the fireplace wall, and big windows that keep everything bright. All of this in Prospect-minutes to schools, shops, and commuter routes-on a street of well-kept homes. If you've been waiting for a property that blends space, function, and a backyard built for parties, this is the one. Showings highly encouraged-come feel the setting for yourself.
