Presenting 3 Karen Way at Shawsay Estates. Sited in a park-like landscape with rolling lawns, mature shade trees, and mulch beds that mimic the undulating curves of the gently sloping lot. Thoughtfully designed, this well-maintained Gambrel Colonial becomes one with its natural setting. A spacious center-island kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and large dining area overlooks the fenced yard and wooded backdrop. The dining room and expansive living room, ideal for entertaining, feature oversized windows providing an abundance of natural light. The cathedral ceiling family room features a wood burning fireplace, picture window, and an eight-foot slider that optimizes the outdoor experience with access to a private two-level deck and Hot-Tub/Spa. The laundry room and half bath round out the first floor. An expansive primary bedroom anchors the second floor featuring vaulted ceilings and ensuite bath with double vanity, walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms with abundant closet space and a full bath complete the second floor. The walk-out basement with full size windows offers unlimited expansion possibilities for additional living space or In-law/ADU. Conveniently located in close proximity to shopping, dining, entertainment and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities. Commuter access to Routes 93 and 495. Available for a quick close!
