Property Description
From the moment you approach this lovely colonial situated on a beautiful private cul-de-sac, you will discover why this home has been treasured by this family for the last decade.
This grand and gracious 4 bedroom, 4 bath (3 full and 1 half) residence features a 3-car side-loading garage and 3 finished levels of well-designed, architecturally detailed living space that flows effortlessly through a variety of rooms and areas that meet every need for today’s buyers. A grand two-story foyer has been tastefully appointed and all the existing fixtures throughout, many one-of-a-kind, convey with the home.
The foyer is flanked by an at home office, that is well designed and bright and affords easy access to the more commonly shared spaces but it also offers privacy and lovely views of the private cul-de-sac. The hardwood floors were refinished in 2014 to reflect their rich oak composition and the wall-to-wall carpet was just replaced.
The other side of the foyer presents a lovely formal living room which leads to a large dining room; this side of the home also offers an inviting sunroom which is a separately zoned area (the heat pump was replaced in 2020). Music and art have been an important part of this home and is obvious in this sunroom; its well-designed Palladian-like windows complement the interior love of the arts with the natural beauty of the landscape design clearly visible through these windows.
The gourmet kitchen and design are a chef’s dream. New quartz countertops and tiles, re-painted cabinets, a Viking stove with center island and attractive seating, and a brand new double wall oven are just a few of its features. There is additional room for a kitchen table if desired; a pantry and an adjoining spacious and bright family room with wood burning fireplace make this is a natural gathering area for family and friends. An attractive half bath is also located just behind the entry foyer.
The back and side yards of this home offer unique entertaining opportunities and afford wonderful everyday relaxation and outside enjoyment: In 2017, the porch, deck and patio were newly constructed. The screened porch boasts of skylights and a dramatic design. A wood burning fireplace with copper surround, attractive flagstone hardscape, trek decking, a Big Green Egg stove, built in gas grill with roughed-in gas supply, and a screened porch with glass inserts are just some of these exterior improvements that unite both the interior and the exterior livability of this residence. The play structures (2015) at the top of the hill convey with the home. Recent exterior and interior lighting improvements make each area attractive at different times of the day. To further protect the external beauty, an irrigation system was installed in 2014. New garage doors (2014), new roof (2021) and new furnace/AC (2022) were additional improvements made by the current owners.
The lower level of the home with access to the outside by way of the mud room and garage doors creates additional entertaining or guest areas: a recreation room, a wet bar with refrigerator and microwave, a full bath and great storage areas complete this attractive and multi-use level. The wall mounted TV in the lower level family room conveys with the home
The third level boasts of 4 bedrooms, a full hall bath, an owner’s en-suite and walk-in closets in all of the bedrooms. All of the windows on this level have also been replaced with Renewal by Anderson products. The owner’s suite also features motorized window shades Each room has great exposure and design and will meet your most discriminating client’s needs.
