Uniquely situated, this gorgeous 4 bedroom colonial offers beach access and all that Hotchhkiss Grove has to enjoy, while being tucked away on a private acre full of nature's magic and backing to land trust. Relish water views from your front yard as the pond is home to many fish, turtles, and herons, and freezes over for ice skating in winter. Enjoy gatherings on the new gigantic back paver patio, complete with hard lined natural gas for grilling. Inside, you will find the current stewards lovingly updated every inch over the last three years, including, but not limited to, new Marvin windows and slider, new roof, central air, new hot water heater and refinished hardwood floors. The new kitchen, with grey cabinetry, quartz counters, ss appliances, and large island, clad in navy blue, opens to dining and living room with wood burning fireplace. Just off the living room, a glorious sunroom has been enclosed and heated with gas fireplace. The smaller bedroom, with built-ins, on the first level, makes for a cozy private office, but can accommodate a bed and furnishings. Upstairs 2 more generous bedrooms, a full bath, and a lovely en suite primary with walk-in shower, have all been updated. City water, city sewer, natural gas heat, CAIR, 2 car garage, generator ready. Come see why 18 Orchard Ave boasts a bushel... How 'bout them apples?!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
