About This Home
As of June 2021Welcome to 185 Kirkwood Ave. When you pull up you will immediately notice the mature landscaping and the stately home highlighted by the exterior louvered shutters and window keystones, creating superb curb appeal. With the changing needs of today's lifestyles, this home is sure to please with it's many versatile rooms and wonderful upgrades. As soon as you walk in the home you will be delighted with the 2 story foyer and the bountiful natural light flooding in from the adjacent rooms featuring large windows with custom up-down, down-up shades . Almost all the rooms have been freshly painted. The kitchen was totally redone in 2020 with glazed cabinets featuring soft close drawers, pull out shelves, pantry, and trash drawer; granite counters, deep sink with motion sensor faucet and reverse osmosis with separate faucet, accented kitchen island, recessed lighting and a second pantry. You can choose to eat in the casual dining area, on the freshly stained deck, or the dining room for more formal meals. The office/living room is separated from the adjacent family room by French doors to create a sound barrier without feeling closed in. The main focal points in the family room are the corner fireplace and large windows looking over the back yard, but what is less noticeable yet important to mention is the wall that was designed for a large wall TV with extra studs and high electrical outlet. (Seller is taking wall TV but is willing to leave bracket if buyer requests it) Do you or the kids need space to practice their instruments or record music? One of the great features in this home is a sound proof recording studio in the lower level. And if you want some adult time, send the children downstairs to the second family room for a movie night. The lower level also offers another private office with hardwired CAT 5 internet , a work out room, and a large storage area. Upstairs you will find the large en suite bed/bathroom perfect with vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, double walk in closet and double sinks in bathroom along with a stand alone shower and a large soaking jet tub. The other 3 bedrooms all have new carpets, closet systems with drawers, hanging bars, and shelving and new window shades. Other updates worth mentioning is the new roof with 50 year transferrable warranty, electrical outlets below each front wall window all controlled by one switch for window candles or holiday decor, recessed lighting with dimmer in office/living room and above fireplace, Martin's whole house Kinetico water conditioner, blown insulation in attic, workshop in garage, and fenced in back yard. All this in Wilson School District. This one won't last. Set up your showing today.
