The picture I took for this posting really does not do this home justice. It is much larger then it looks and sits on a beautiful two acre lot.

This home is perfectly sited and looks the way an "estate home" is supposed to look. The lot is flat with broad lawn with pretty neighboring homes. What is not to like?

The dramatic 2 story foyer sets the stage in this home. With plenty of light and neutral colors, this home is inviting and comfortable.

The kitchen adjoins the family room along the back of the home. Windows along the back wall allow you to see the expansive back yard while having breakfast. The kitchen has 42" cabinetry, and is in good condition. At some point in time a killer kitchen can replace this adequate one. For now, the space works just fine.

The master bedroom is in the wing adjacent to the family room. It is large and bright and features a large loft area open to the bedroom below. This can be a office, sitting area or can be walled off to attain more privacy. The other bedrooms in the home are good size too. A buddy bath adjoins two of the bedrooms, and an additional full bath serves the third.

The basement is fully finished and has a bedroom area that would be perfect for an nanny or au-pair. With older kids, be prepared for a fight to see who gets the room downstairs.

There is pre-wiring in a large theatre area for stereo and TV. Speakers are already in the wall, and you only have to connect your equipment to be up and running.

This is a nice home and is priced right. The only concern I have is a neighboring home is listed as a short sale at around one million dollars. While not on a lot nearly as nice, this may affect values in the neighborhood for a short time. If you could get this home for 1.1mm it would be a value.
