Listed by WFPThis is a lovely street just off Piney Meetinghouse Road. These single family homes were built in the late 1960's and early 1970's and many have been updated and expanded.
This home sits on a 2 acre corner lot. It is surrounded by cherry trees in the front, and is a spectacle when in full bloom. The 2 car garage is side load, which makes this home look huge from the street. The lawn and grounds are well maintained and have mature "deer proof" plantings. A slate walk brings you around to a heavy wood front door with porch to shield guests from the elements.
The entry is formal with a hardwood foyer. A living room takes the entire right side of the home. It has vintage gold colored carpet, but well maintained. The fireplace has a marble surround and the window treatments were very stylish and probably expensive in their day. There is a small room to the left that can be used as an office or sitting room. The powder room is dated but nicely decorated.
The kitchen and adjacent breakfast area are connected by a pass through for serving. Both rooms have resilient sheet good flooring in good condition. The kitchen update is probably 15 years old, but well done with a Corian style counter top and nice quality cabinets. The kitchen can probably be updated without a full renovation. Granite and new appliances will go a long way.
The family room is large with a nice cozy feel. A large fireplace and back stairwell to the upstairs make efficient use of the space. There are picture windows on this level that were the rage in the 1970's. They work well in this home as the grounds are lovely. Any view of them from the inside is a bonus.
The upstairs has 5 bedrooms. There is a modest master bedroom, 3 additional bedrooms and an interesting bedroom suite that includes a small kitchen and full bath. It could be used for an in-law or nanny suite if desired, or leave this as an upstairs playroom for the kids.
The basement is fully finished and large. Although cut up a bit, there is plenty of space with a game room, recreation room with bar and fireplace and room for a bedroom. A full bath is in place and in good condition.
This is a lovely Crowell and Baker colonial on a beautiful lot. Although it needs updating, it has good bones and would be a great investment for someone willing to do the work. The price is fair and a value for the potential home buyer. I am not sure where this will end up, but if you could get it below $1,175,000 it would be a steal. Go see this one if you are not afraid of a bit of renovation and this is in your price range. The return on investment will be wonderful.
