At the top of a circular drive, the all-brick two-story home is framed by large trees on almost two acres of land. The front porch provides the perfect vantage to enjoy the natural surroundings or watch the kids play in the yard.
Built in 1997, this home has had several owners before the current owners purchased it in 2009. At that point, it underwent a months-long full renovation spearheaded by Brooks Building Group. The owners updated every room to create the home that they have loved ever since. “We spent much time together creating this new space,” the current owner says. “It’s very traditional; it reminds me of the colonial farmhouse I grew up in.”
A tour of the home will make evident that there is no wasted space here. With seven bedrooms, five full baths, a half bath, two laundry rooms and two two-car garages, it makes an excellent family home.
Enter the house through the front entryway with its beautiful glass front door, or use the mudroom entrance to the side. The mudroom has five built-in cubbies with storage for shoes, coats, backpacks and more, and the slate floor makes it an easy-to-clean space to leave cleats after practice or muddy boots on a rainy day.
Hardwood floors throughout the rest of the main level contribute to its sense of openness, with large windows allowing the whole space to be bathed in natural light. The home library, located to the left of the main entrance, features floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves and an entertainment center, as well as a stunning coffered ceiling.
This cozy room leads into the living room through a set of glass French doors that allow the space to be closed off while still filtering in light from the back windows. The capacious living room overlooks the breathtaking backyard views and includes another wall of built-in shelving, a fireplace and space to mount a television.
