Large stately homes in Friendly Acres
Large brick homes built in the 1980s and '90s come with an average of 3,000 square feet. Lots, which have a median size of about a third of an acre, are large enough to fit backyard pools or large patios. A few houses border a small pond in the center of the neighborhood, and private docks enable homeowners to fish or relax by the water. Colonial Revival architecture is common, but homes were also built in various styles such as split-level, Cape Cod and Tudor-inspired New Traditional. “It’s a very established neighborhood where the houses are not necessarily that cookie-cutter type," says Sheila Sanders, an associate with Re/Max Realty Consultants. Homes usually sell from the mid-$400,000s to the upper $700,000s. Residents can join the voluntary Friendly Acres Neighborhood Association, which puts on community events and takes care of landscaping in common areas. Annual dues range from $295 to $395.
