About This Home
Welcome to your new sanctuary: an elegantly expanded Cape Cod home, perfectly positioned in a picturesque tree lined Meadowood neighborhood, which merges the elegant peaceful serenity of suburban life with the convenience of and access to urban amenities. Set on a gorgeous landscaped 1/3-acre lot, the yard features vibrant flower beds, a tranquil waterfall, a Koi pond, and a charming paver patio, an ideal retreat for relaxation or entertaining. Upon entering the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, you are greeted by a front room with a cozy fireplace, seamlessly flowing into a sun-drenched, all-season sunroom for year-round use. This versatile space can easily function as a sophisticated front office, playroom, or living room. The expansive kitchen is thoughtfully designed and is adjacent to a spacious family room, living room or banquet-style dining room option, perfectly suited for hosting. A conveniently located full bath completes this level. Ascending to the second floor, the spacious owner’s suite awaits, with two walk-in closets, one of which is large enough to potentially serve as a sitting room or as a private office. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms ensure guests and family alike experience ample comfort. There is also a hallway, off the main, lined with closet storage and a window, ready to function as a small office or sitting area. Further, the expansive attic offers ample potential storage space, or the opportunity for finishing. The lower level presents an engaging living and entertaining area featuring yet another fireplace and custom built-ins, alongside an adjacent laundry area and storage solution spaces, capped off with the convenience of a one-car garage. Home improvements within the past few years included a brand-new roof, refinished basement flooring, refinished kitchen cabinets, painted interior and exterior, new fence, new solid pine doors (upstairs baths and basement entry), new front storm door and others. This home, nestled within the esteemed Meadowood neighborhood, is enveloped by walkable, tree-lined streets, and offers easy access to Meadowood Park/playgrounds, complete with tennis courts and a ballfield. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Northwest Branch Park, which features an extensive network of trails. Close proximity to quality shopping, dining, schools, places of worship, and efficient bus service, including the Flash Rapid Transit system, make commuting a breezy experience. Key routes, including the ICC highway, as well as closeness to both the U.S. FDA White Oak Campus and others, underscore the practicality and desirability of this location.
