This seven-year young Colonial in beautiful Mourningkill Meadows has been stylishly designed and meticulously maintained by its original owners. The home shines from the covered front porch through the open living space, to the efficient 4BR second floor, out to the picturesque, private backyard with deck, patio, hot tub and fire pit. Enjoy the reassurance of a nearly new home without the wait to build - or the expense and control of an HOA. Best of all, its set just outside the thriving Village of Ballston Spa, in the popular Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake School District.

First Floor: The curb appeal is plenty thanks to the modern façade of the home, and the flowery landscape. A walkway leads to the covered front porch which greets guests and offers a place to enjoy your morning coffee in any weather.

Gleaming hardwood flooring begins in the foyer of this center hall Colonial and runs throughout the entire first floor. To your right is the den with glass French doors and boho styled macrame hanging fixture. This room currently makes a lovely home office but could be used as a playroom or guest space overlooking the front yard.

On the opposite side of the foyer, the dining room is spacious with a custom wainscot wall detail. A sputnik glass chandelier lights the room beautifully and there’s room for a table and accessory furniture.  

The center hall leads to the open great room spanning the rear of the home. The well-appointed kitchen is on left with plentiful maple cabinetry with soft closing doors and drawers, stainless steel appliances, and an island with overhang for stools. The sleek granite countertops and crisp white tiled backsplash add stylish functionality, while recessed lighting and pendants light up the space. A double casement window over the sink looks out to the backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy well-sized pantry closet for dry goods.

A spacious eat-in dining area holds a sizable farm table for six with rattan drum pendant light and ample natural light from the sliding glass door. It leads to the deck and backyard for easy grilling and dining al fresco.

The living room is wide open and anchored by its central gas fireplace with colonial mantle and tile surround. Cable is in the wall above and there are windows on each side for ample natural light in addition to the windows facing the backyard. Together, these ensure the home stays light and bright even on rainy days.

A well-appointed, tiled powder bathroom with pedestal sink is set privately at the hall’s end off the foyer. A custom built-in with shoe cubbies and wall hooks in the hall leads to the attached two-car garage creating a useful mudroom. Inside the garage you’ll find some built-in storage for off-season items.

Second Floor: The hardwood staircase with oak treads leads upstairs where plush carpeting begins and runs throughout this level for both sound control and comfort. On the right side you'll find the entrance to the oversized primary suite. The carpeted bedroom easily offers space for a King-sized bed and additional furniture. The attached tiled ensuite bathroom provides an oversized vanity with solid surface countertop, double sinks, and a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure. Through here you’ll find the walk-in closet.  

Off the hall you’ll find two equivalently sized carpeted bedrooms, one with wainscot wall detail. A fourth bedroom is especially spacious and easily doubles as a second home-work space and guest room. Off the hall, you’ll find the tiled full bathroom featuring a tub/shower combination and vanity with solid surface countertop. A linen closet provides useful storage. Back in the hall a large closet conveniently holds the side-by-side laundry with built-in shelving for supplies.

Basement: The basement offers additional living space with laminate flooring and an egress window. The mechanicals are housed in the unfinished section and include a high efficiency natural gas-fired Lenox forced-air furnace, 200-amp electric panel and gas water heater. There is a grinder pump for the sewer. The home is connected to natural gas, public water, sewer and cable. Outside a Lenox condenser provides the cooling for central air conditioning.

Backyard: This has been a real retreat for the sellers and they've invested in it! A large pressure-treated deck offers grilling and dining space. Step down to the hand laid paver patio with hot tub, built-in fire ring, and stone wall. The entire yard is enclosed in fencing with vinyl privacy fence on the sides and the rear line also has a line of mature arborvitaes for added privacy. There is a swingset and a vast expanse of lawn for yard games. Sprinklers on all sides of the home keep it looking sharp, and there are seasoned perennials softening the landscape.

Exterior: The house is low maintenance but offers great style with its vinyl horizontal siding with stone on the front façade. An asphalt shingled roof tops it off and there is a black top driveway. 

Location: The home is set in the Town of Ballston, withing the BH/BL School District. You’ll enjoy the proximity to both Ballston Spa and Malta – as well as nearby Saratoga Springs. Restaurants and retail shops are plentiful and with easy access to I-87 off exit 12 it’s an easy commute to the Capital Region or Adirondacks as well.
