About This Home
As of January 2019This is a Strafford Village gem. 28 Briar sits on the quiet loop of Briar Road, with a three-quarter-acre, bucolic, wooded setting as its backdrop. All the work has been done, and done well, and the details make it a stunner. Custom millwork is abundant and pristine. Pecan hardwoods run throughout both floors of the house. The Living Room addition has walls of windows with transoms, a gorgeous exposed stone wall and french doors leading to the back yard. The Dining Room is oversized with beautiful millwork and an inviting fireplace. The Kitchen and Family Room addition has vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and exquisite finishes: Custom cabinetry by Christiana Cabinetry, an Herbeau farm sink, Herbeau Copper sink, Bouvet cabinet pulls, Limestone countertops, Granite island, Wolf Commercial Stove, and European Rohl faucets. The adjoining Family Room is spacious and open with a large Fireplace. French doors lead out to the Deck, which is the perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous backyard. The Master suite is an addition, with an exposed stone wall, cathedral ceiling, numerous windows and it's own private balcony. The Master Bath has a limestone double vanity, large soaking tub and glass shower. Three other spacious bedrooms share two full baths. The Basement is finished with a Powder Room and finished Laundry Room, and leads out to a covered flagstone patio, another great outdoor living space. Even the Garage at 28 Briar is done well, with built-in shelving and a finished floor. This house has a supreme Walk-to-Wayne location, T/E Schools, and 2 blocks to the Strafford Train Station. The best part of Strafford Village is the old-fashioned neighborhood, with events like the Spring-Thing Garden Party, 4th of July parade and family picnic, Progressive Dinner, Neighborhood Olympics, Visits from Santa and Mrs Claus, the Holiday Party, and the best trick or treating around. 28 Briar Road has it all.
