You won't believe your luck if you snag this beautiful home in the desirable cul-de-sac of Waterford Village Estates. Set back from the street and screened by trees & fences, this home offers a larger lot and a more private feeling than many in the neighborhood.
View of the distant neighbors across the street
The front entry strikes a spacious note, a tune that is carried throughout the home. The vinyl plank flooring and carpets are new (within 6 months) and the light tones help make the spaces feel light and airy.
While most of the rooms are done in lighter tones, the rich brown of the kitchen cabinets lends warm, cozy feel to the heart of the home, and the stainless appliances lend an upscale touch.
Just off the dining area there's a convenient half-bath and laundry.
The slider leads to a nice deck out back, and the owners were smart enough to dispense with a formal dining room in favor of a second sitting room off the kitchen, making it a great space for friends and family to gather (more on that later).
The spacious family room is graced with a gas fireplace as well as windows that diffuse soft northern light throughout the space, and a ceiling fan helps add to the comfort of whoever gets to relax here.
As noted above, what could have been an obsolete formal dining room has been turned into additional, functional living space with easy access to the kitchen, making it a great space for friends and family to gather.
Upstairs, the primary suite will be a welcome retreat, with a roomy walk-in closet and private bathroom.
The second bedroom has a bank of windows offering a steady stream southern light.
Shared bathroom off the wide stair landing.
The third bedroom continues the theme of Light, with three windows facing two directions, and the large Palladian window in the hallway just outside.
One of the great features of this home is the open attic on the third level, which offers nearly 500 square feet of potential additional living space (even taking the eves into account). As your family grows, turn this into an office, a game room, music studio, craft room, or whatever your lifestyle or hobbies requires.
The natural entrance to the home is through the garage and basement, which means the basement can serve as a natural mud room--an essential feature for any New England home! There's a workbench and storage shelves, and plenaty of room to add more if you're a pack rat (or Type A organizational person). You also get a brand new oil tank.
The garage is deep enough and wide enough for additional shelving if you need it.
As mentioned above, this is one of the larger lots (.93 acres) in the neighborhood; there's plenty of space between house and street, with a phalanx of trees in between, to offer lots of privacy; and the nearest neighbor is screened by a line of trees and fence, and with no windows on that side of the house you won't even know they're there. You have open, sunlit yard space with an above-ground pool, and the lot is buffered by one of the deepest sections of the 61 acres of common land that surrounds the community, so the adventurous among you can explore the natural environs, or ice-skate on the pond at the front of the subdivision.
The community also features a nice little playground, with basketball court and gazebo where you could host birthday parties or other outdoor fun. (Although there are documents describing a community association, to the owners' knowledge the association was never formally constituted and there are no association dues. The playground is maintained by general consent and contribution.)
