A grand Colonial retreat in Reading
For a home you can truly retreat to at the end of the day, look no further than 25 Cory Lane in Reading.
The farthest home on a quiet cul-de-sac, and abutting several acres of conservation land with mature maples and elms, the private home sits on a 1.3-acre lot among lush custom landscaping. A hip roof colonial built in 2000 with more than 4,800 square feet of living space, the home is grand and spacious without feeling overwhelming.
From the double doors and marble foyer at the home’s entrance to the unique pickled oak floors on the home’s main floor, you’ll find touches that make 25 Cory Lane special. Off the grand two-story foyer and staircase, you’ll find a generously sized home office area that could be used as a formal living room, as well as the formal dining room overlooking the front yard.
The kitchen features tons of built-ins, whitewashed cabinets, an eat-in breakfast bar area and easy access to the deck and backyard. Off the kitchen, a wall of tall windows takes you from the informal dining area and into the family room, warmed up by a gas fireplace, and an audiophile’s dream A/V system, complete with projector and a 110-inch movie screen.
Upstairs, a regal master suite done in wider plank hardwood features another fireplace, a sitting area and a spa-like master bath. Three additional bedrooms complete the home’s second floor, including a very large room that could be used as a media room.
The finished lower level is completely above grade, letting in tons of natural light, with a perfect view of the serene greenery. There, you’ll find a large home gym, a sauna and a game room with a wet bar.
Outside, a water feature with waterfall and koi pond, as well as a granite and stone fire pit, complete the retreat-like backyard.
The sale of the home, listed at $1,100,000, is being handled by Stephen Conroy at Conroy Realty Group, 781-246-1546.
