About This Home

As of June 2019

Prepare to be wowed by this special home, located at the end of a secluded lane. Enter the dramatic 2-story foyer w/Palladian window and classic wainscoting. Just off of it is the convenient office. This is not your typical floor plan, as evidenced by the living room, with its angled walls: perfect for a music room! The spacious dining room with crown moulding and wainscoting is ready for a party! Fantastic kitchen with granite counters, work island, Jennaire cooktop and Viking wall oven and microwave plus a huge pantry closet! The generous eat-in area has sliders to the deck & opens to the 2 story family room w/3 Palladian windows to flood the room with natural light. A gas fireplace, back stairs and French doors to the deck complete the room. The large composite deck overlooks a spectacular fenced yard filled with lush landscaping. Upstairs, the master bedroom features Brazilian cherry flooring, a large sitting area, 2 walk in closets, bath with whirlpool tub, double sinks and no shortage of space. The additional bedrooms all have great closet space, 2 brs share a Jack & Jill bath, and 1 is an ensuite. The basement includes a BenQ projector system, wall mounted movie screen, surround sound with 5 speakers. Plenty of storage space. 2 zones of heat/CA . Whole house Generac generator for peace of mind. Andersen windows throughout. Home also has a holiday lighting package so each front window can have a candle light. Stucco inspection completed by Nick Hindley. Report available upon request. Some furniture is negotiable. MOTIVATED SELLER!
