About This Home

As of September 2016

Situated perfectly at the top of the Devonshire community, this expanded home offers great space for everyone to live together and still maintain privacy. Two first floor rear additions and an in-law suite make this home spectacular. The first addition is the cathedral atrium which comes alive with light, beams, skylights, beaded wood ceiling, tile floor and French doors. The second is a spacious cathedral office with built-in shelving, skylights and French doors. Open the French doors from both atrium and office to discover the wisteria covered pergola patio in between! The home also features a two-story foyer with curved stairs and horseshoe landing, renovated granite island kitchen with desk area, dining room for big celebrations, bright living room with long windows, oversized family room with stone fireplace (wood) and plantation shutters. The secluded in-law suite will please an adult of any age and has a sitting area, extended walk-in closet, private bath with roll-in shower, separate foyer and entrance. Overall, the first floor has nearly all fresh paint and gleaming hardwood floors. Upstairs the master suite sits privately on the left side of the house with a walk-in closet, walk-in storage area, dressing area with new double vanity, and separate room for the toilet and seamless glass luxury double shower. Three more large bedrooms share a partitioned bathroom. Downstairs there is plenty of room for pool table and ping pong in the finished basement which also features a half bath and wet bar. Don't forget to note the walk-in cedar closet & storage room (plus two attics). Certainly the yard deserves equal praise with sculpted landscaping, paver patio & walks, and blooming trees. Although the home has a .6 acre lot, it feels more expansive since it backs to common space that the owner has chosen to keep mowed (see photo of lot lines). Bring the whole bunch: there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy... both inside and out.
