Property Description

This is the house everyone has been waiting for-- both "downsizers" looking for first-floor living, and those seeking wonderful amenities like top-rated schools and an engaging community. Here it is: a Classic Cape Cod stone home with a highly-desirable first-floor primary bedroom suite (bedroom, bath, walk-in closets and library/office). Low taxes and minimal maintenance set the stage for a comfortable existence, and a relaxing, custom-designed cedar porch with "invisible" screens" provides three-season enjoyment of the serene 1.1 acre lot. Nestled up against the house is the spacious and beautiful Pennsylvania bluestone patio area for al fresco entertaining or nature gazing. You are just minutes from a great meal at one of the excellent Wayne restaurants or hop the nearby train to a downtown evening. Even the airport is closer from this fabulous location than most area homes. Live entirely on the first floor with extra rooms to create whatever your lifestyle dictates (the den could easily be a sitting room, second office, fourth bedroom, gym or nursery) and still have ample rooms upstairs for children/guests. Almost 40 years of pride of ownership is displayed in this home. Three zone heating, top-of-the-line Trane high efficiency heat pump, high-end built-in dehumidifying system, custom master cabinetry, California closets, exterior siding and trim requiring no painting, and gorgeous landscaping with perennials galore all await you. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunny breakfast room and cook your favorite meals in the well-laid-out kitchen with an adjacent formal dining room, for those large communal gatherings. The living/family room invites reading by the fire or watching your favorite TV shows. A full hall bath serves the two rooms off the primary bedroom, one of which is set up as an office and the other as a den, a room easily converted to a fourth bedroom with the addition of a set of closet doors in the nook area. So many options. The primary bedroom is a light-filled spacious retreat in the rear of the home, with views of the private back yard and direct access to the lovely blue-stone patio. The ensuite primary bath has double sinks, custom cabinetry and a tiled shower with a seating area. Two large rooms, a full bath and additional storage areas round out the living spaces in the home upstairs. The basement is shelved for all your storage needs, and houses the utilities, including an 88-gallon water heater and a double-walled, corrosion-resistant oil tank. (Homes nearby have converted to gas if that suits you.) The attached 2-car garage with pull-down stairs to a floored attic provides tons of extra space for all of your sports equipment and gardening implements. The location really cannot be beat. Medical facilities, luxury retail shops, abundant public gardens, trails, parks and two commuter rail stations are all only minutes away. This home has it all and will not last. Come see for yourself what your next stop in life could be.
