Okay, I know, it’s kind of cheating to make the “Home Of The Week” a property that I, in fact, am representing. Seriously look at this property and tell me I’m wrong! This home is perfect. The owners, Alison and Andy (isn’t that cute) are two Brits with great taste. They bought this home as a fairly standard Garrison Colonial and transformed it. Over a period of about 3-4 years they poured their hearts and souls into impeccable design and space planning. They added an 18′x19′ addition that spans three levels if you include the basement. They never have gotten around to finishing off the basement space yet, but it would make a wonderful media room or studio. All three levels keep their continuity via an attractive modern spiral staircase. They didn’t skimp either, normally this 230lb, 6’2″ Realtor isn’t fond of spirals, but this one gives me no trouble at all.

The original part of the house had a very good layout and would have been considered quite adequet by most. However, the new addition adds spacious flexibility, allowing for formal and casual areas of the home. (Or just lost of casual space.) The kitchen is the heart of this home, located dead-center on the 1st floor. All rooms radiate out from it making a great space for entertaining. By climbing the front stairs you access a spacious landing, a full bath and all the bedrooms. One could use this home as a four bedroom, but greedy me – I’d make it a three bedroom with a monster master bedroom suite. Wait until you see the master bath! It has a double shower/steam room, air jetted tub, double sinks, skylights, exquisite tile, etc. I could go on and on. Incidentlely, this is probably a good time to mention that all of the light fixtures are from either Wolfers (my favorite!) or Restoration Hardware. Configured this way there’s a really nice sitting room between the master bed and bath. Personaly, I’d put a little flat screen in there, hide a mini-bar somewhere, and lock the doors. I’m not going to go on and on about this house. You can check out the virtual tour here or better yet, call or write me for an appointment. You will find a complete list of improvements dating back to 2005 in PDF format on my website.

Write in and guess the sale price! I’ll post it up when it closes.
