Google Map Here Normandy Hills is a Mitchell and Best community built in the early 1990's. On the north side of Bells Mill Road, this enclave of homes is conveniently located to everything. Good schools, good location and cohesive community keep these homes in high demand.

This is a beautiful colonial with columns and cedar shake roof. The landscaping is well groomed and gives the home great curb appeal. The home looks to have been completely redone. The foyer is 2 story with gleaming hardwood floors. The hardwood goes throughout the first floor and looks great. The living room and library are on the left of the home. Both rooms are large and provide good traffic flow to the kitchen. This is a great home to entertain.

The kitchen is nicely appointed and has plenty of space. A butler pantry leads you through to a dining room that could easily hold a table for 10. A back stairwell is a convenient feature that leads you to the second living level from the kitchen area.

The back of the home leads you to a small pool. This pool is covered by a glass structure that looks a lot like a greenhouse. The roof retracts in the summer, and a heater keeps the area cozy for winter swims. This is a cool feature for anyone that LOVES to swim every day. It could be a flaw in an otherwise lovely home for others.

There are four large bedrooms upstairs that have been freshly painted. The Master is large and well designed with a nice master bath suite. The other bedrooms share 2 additional full baths.

The basement is fully finished and has lots of space. A nanny suite with full bath, room for a media wall and even space for a wine cellar. How you allocate the space is up to you.

This is a big home. The list price of $1.1mm for all of this space is not out of line. I am going to be curious to see what happens with this one. Someone may snap it up at near full price. If the pool is seen as a detriment instead of an asset, it may linger a while. I am going to venture a guess that this settles at between $1,060,000 and $1,075,000 once they find a buyer.
