Welcome to your own private Land of Enchantment!
You'll be enchanted by the lovely stonework and landscaping as you approach the house, and "enchantment" will be an understatement as you step inside and experience the size and light in the living room!
Front entry
The location high on Hanover Hill affords a nice view west, and the fireplace, crown moulding, and natural woodwork offer a warm and picturesque vision inside as well. (Current owner has never used the fireplace.)
Just beyond the living room you'll find the spacious dining room, which features two classic corner built-ins.
The kitchen is stylish and efficient with a nice mix of original details--like the fabulous period sink, the original upper cabinets, and a fold-out ironing board--mixed with modern updates, including stainless appliances, concrete countertops, glass-front cabinets with pulll-out shelving in the drawers and the pantry, and pendant lighting.
There's a small alcove between the kitchen and the rear porch that includes pull-out drawers for recycling--very convenient! You could add some shelving here for additional storage or display.
Just around the corner from the kitchen there's a first-floor bedroom that overlooks the patio and back yard, and around the corner from the bedroom, past a large hallway built-in, you'll find a beautifully updated three-quarter bathroom with glassed-in tile shower.
The first floor is rounded out with an additional room down the hallway toward the living room. This would be a great office, or--if you're looking for true one-floor living--you could transform this into a laundry room and walk-in closet (the small panel in the wall is plumbing access for the adjoining bathroom).
The stairs to the second floor are just off the kitchen, and at the top you'll find a huge walk-in cedar closet and a small alcove for shelving or a bookcase (or whatever you want to put there!)
This level includes the full bath, which was also beautifully updated.
This second floor features a very large common space, which could be a family play room, a yoga and excercise area, a grand home office, or another bedroom with the addition of a wall. It adjoins the second bedroom and the primary bedroom.
The second bedroom is good-sized (appx. 13' x 10.5') and includes a nice closet that extends all the way to the window wall.
If you like to shop for clothes and shoes, this is the home for you! The primary has two--count 'em, two--spacious walk-in closets. Both have additional under-eave storage, and one has built-ins as well. You're comfort is also ensured by the ceiling fan and mini-split.
The basement is large and bright, with plenty of room for toys (bikes, kayaks, etc), workshop space, and lots of holiday decorations, with a perimeter drain and exterior French drain on the east side of the house to keep it dry and usable. The washer and dryer will convey with the property, and the natural gas heat and hot water (off boiler) are clean and efficient.
The basement may not be your idea of "enchantment," but the back yard sure will be! The paver driveway leads up to the two-car garage and around to a lovely patio that plays host to potted flowers in the warmer months. There is a rainwater collection system that feeds the front yard drip irrigation and will easily fill your buckets for watering the back yard or washing your car.
Just off the kitchen at the rear of the house there's a wonderful enclosed porch. It can be a screen porch in the warmer months, and a glassed-in porch in the winter, and as it faces south it actually heats up pretty well in winter.
The porch leads to a composite deck--the perfect spot for a lounge chair and a gripping novel--which leads down to the patio--the perfect spot for a bistro table and a glass of Pinot Grigio. You can grow your own potted herbs for the kitchen, or festoon the area with flowers. You get to decide what shape your Land of Enchantment takes!
The Weber grill can convey with the house if a buyer would like it.
And although the yard underwent it's Fall clean-up before these photos were taken, take a look below to see what awaits you in the Spring
