It’s a home that will appeal to many — families, downsizers, anyone who likes to entertain in style and those in search of a light, bright, fresh new living space.
The transitional home has white walls and bleached flooring that lend a Cape Cod feeling to the approximately 4,000 square feet of living space, says listing agent Adam Weiner of Harvey Kalles Real Estate, who has listed the property with Robert Greenberg.
The owner had the home designed and built for his own use, but plans changed and the quality house is now for sale. It offers specially selected, opulent finishes throughout, including sixinch- wide hardwood floors. The principal rooms feature panelling.
The living room has a mar- ble feature wall/fireplace and the kitchen has a large centre island, high- end appliances, glass- front upper cabinetry and large windows. The spacious breakfast area offers a peaceful view of the backyard.
The main- f l oor f amily room offers custom built- in shelves ready for family treasures. There is also a powder room on the main floor.
A nice feature is that it’s easy to get in and out of the home. It has only has two steps up to the front door and the walkouts from the kitchen and family room are at grade so there are no long outdoor staircases to manoeuvre in winter.
Each of the bedrooms has an en suite or semi- en- suite bathroom. The second floor also has a walnut panelled study with built- in shelves. The master suite has a walk- in closet with a skylight and an en- suite bathroom that has brass hardware. Weiner says he particularly likes the vaulted ceiling in the master suite and the second- floor skylight above the staircase. The skylight rises 15 ft. to the roofline.
The lower level has radiant heated floors, a guest suite, a large recreation room and a beautifully finished wine cellar. Central air and vacuum systems and a full-home automation system are other appreciated features.
Agents who toured the house said they especially liked the panelling and the skylight, he says.
The brick home is on a 50 x 135- ft. lot with a patio and grassy area in the fenced backyard. There is direct entry from the garage and backyard to the mudroom.
