About This Home

As of September 2021

In the fabulous Holmes school district, this beautiful west-facing 5-bedroom home sits high on a gentle hill overlooking one of the best cul-de-sacs in town. Features include 9-foot ceilings, stunning moldings and beams, beautiful hardwood floors, and extra-large windows with transoms to allow all the natural sunlight in. There are 5-bedrooms all on the second floor plus the ability to have additional bedrooms if desired - the flexible first-floor office/bedroom has its own full bath, the huge bonus room over the garage also has its own full bath, and the large third-floor attic can be finished by a new owner. In addition to generous-sized rooms, the home lends itself to a casual lifestyle with an updated kitchen with chef-quality stainless appliances, an island with counter seating, and a designated eat-in kitchen table area that's open to a sizable family room. The family room leads to a large patio and a lush backyard. There is a workstation in the center of the home on the first floor for kids or adults - truly a Command Central, and a large mudroom with built-ins off of the 3-car garage. The master bedroom has a lovely and spacious master bathroom with a separate tub and shower, and an impressive 17.4' x 9.1' walk-in closet. Come see the sunrises and sunsets in this very special home. See the public remarks addendum for more features. Please note that there are exterior security cameras in use.
