About this home
Welcome to 278 Prospect Road, a charming 1920s Colonial filled with the kind of character and craftsmanship you just don't find in newer homes. From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch, mature landscaping, and classic architecture set the tone for what's waiting inside. Step through the front door and into a spacious living room where original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, built-ins, and a fireplace immediately make this home feel special. Continue into the dining room and you'll find even more original detail, including gorgeous built-in cabinetry and a window seat that add both charm and function. Just beyond, the kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, while a convenient half bath and additional office provide flexibility for everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The full basement provides even more room for storage, laundry, hobbies, or whatever fits your needs. Outside, the backyard offers plenty to enjoy with a pergola, established fruit including apple trees, blackberries and grapes, and a detached two-car garage. The home has also seen several important improvements over the years, including a brand-new roof in 2026, newly paved driveway, LeafGuard gutters, garage roof in 2025, whole-house water filter, updated electrical service, replacement windows, and more. With its beautiful original details, functional layout, outdoor space, and major updates already completed, this is a home that has been thoughtfully cared for while keeping the character that makes it truly one of a kind.
