Situated on a beautiful and private 1.3 acre lot enhanced by an extra conservation buffer beyond, this newer home boasts the best of everything – curb appeal, location and quality. Custom built by the current owners, it offers a spacious and gracious floor plan on three floors, plus a huge unfinished basement which doubles as a sports area for the children. The expansive and wooded backyard is large enough to accommodate a pool or sports court.
The large and inviting home is approached by a circular drive, enhanced by mature professional landscaping. Once inside, one is impressed by tasteful interiors awash in natural light. High ceilings, hardwood floors, generously-proportioned rooms and elegant architectural details make this special home stand out from all the rest.
The center entrance grand foyer begins the tour, and showcases a beautiful winding stairway to the upper level. To the right is the grand dining room, elegant and classic in appointments, and to the left is the most beautiful of living rooms. A large fireplace with custom wood mantel and granite surround create a lovely focal point, and the room can accommodate a baby grand as well.
To the back of the house, one is embraced by a floor plan that is perfect for comfortable and classic family living. A beautiful kitchen, light and bright in appointment, features a large island, counter top seating area, and breakfast table area overlooking and accessing the spectacular grounds. Highlights include top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry, as well as plentiful storage and workspace. A well-planned first-floor laundry room is nearby, along with a mudroom and access to the attached three-car garage. The kitchen opens to an expansive family room also with great backyard views and plenty of room for the largest of big-screen TVs.
The first floor is also home to a wonderful office/sunroom which in turn opens out onto a porch and deck with panoramic views of the yard. This house has a fantastic “room with a view” everywhere you look….beautiful every season of the year!
Upstairs the living is equally easy and extremely comfortable. There are five upstairs bedrooms, each exceptionally large, with great storage space, too. The master bedroom is grand and elegantly appointed with its own handsome fireplace and hardwood floors, plus there is a large and luxurious master bath and custom closetry. Three of the inviting and well-proportioned family bedrooms have hardwood floors and one is carpeted. There are two fresh, light and updated baths – one for the Jack and Jill suite, and the other off the hall.
There is a special bonus on the third floor - a superb upstairs playroom/media room, perfect for sleepovers! It would also make a sunny and bright exercise room, with skylights adding to the overall appeal. There is a walk in attic space for extra storage room here as well.
The basement is full, with high ceilings and plentiful windows. It is currently used as an indoor sports court for the children’s recreation, but could also easily be finished for a rec room, media room, bedroom and bath (plumbed). The possibilities are endless.
The home has multiple zones of heating and air conditioning, oversized water heaters, and security system, and is wired for all of today’s electrical, computing and cable needs.
This special home offers discriminating buyers a wonderful opportunity to own a large and gracious home on a private 1.3 acre lot in a centrally located neighborhood that is close to everything. And it’s in the Everett School District, too! Who could ask for anything more?!
