About This Home

As of August 2020

So pretty and welcoming from the outside and surprisingly dramatic on the inside, this spacious brick Ranch in Old Elm Ridge Park features expanded rooms that take in lovely views of the private, sun-dappled surrounds. The foyer, tiled in natural stone, is lined with storage and leads to a central living room and a stunning Great Room that will surely draw everyone together. A brick fireplace, multiple glass sliders and a lengthy stretch of granite-topped counter space are all spread out beneath its 12.5 ft. peaked, hemlock ceiling. Wolf, Miele, and Jenn-Air appliances and clean-lined, solid wood cabinetry are further high-end features of the open kitchen. The owner s suite within the separate bedroom wing also benefited from the expansion and now has deck access. The bathroom adjoins a dressing area, in addition to a huge walk-in closet. Two corner bedrooms share a cheerfully tiled hall bath. Follow an open staircase to the vast basement with 3 finished rooms, one opening to the yard. The driveway is freshly resurfaced and a whole house generator is ready when the next storm hits.
