This four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home on 1 acre of land has the stately Farmhouse-style façade of a late 20th century single family home, with an interior updated in 2020 in the contemporary Craftsman style. The property is surrounded by woods and offers ample privacy for $950,000.
“A lot of couples when you meet with them say, ‘I want a big front porch with chairs,’” listing agent Katie Covey of Long and Foster Real Estate said, referring to the home’s extra-wide front porch. The brick-paved porch is covered by a colonnade that will protect guests from the elements when sitting on the porch, and the wooded landscape provides quiet and seclusion while they do so.
The home’s façade is covered by white shiplap siding — comprised of interlocking horizontal boards —which contrasts against dark shutters on both sides of four windows on the ground floor. The home’s front door is a similar hue as the shutters, and asphalt-colored shingles on top of the first floor’s colonnade as well as the second-story roof accentuate the exterior’s black and white dynamic. The siding and shutters were updated in 2020.
An oversized garage with enough depth for two cars, as well as an accessory vehicle such as a motorcycle or golf cart, stands to the right of the main structure of the home. The current owners have also used the finished attic space on top of the garage as a makeshift playroom, Covey said.
The home’s foyer features some prominent updates, including steely gray walls that contrast against bright white wood trim surrounding windows, and wood trim on the first floor. The entry area is covered with light carpeting, and a modern rectangular chandelier with a row of light bulbs wrapped in a mosaic glass exterior hangs to the side of the main entrance.
Across from the front door, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances and white cabinetry, with cream-colored Corian countertops, according to Covey. Sandy beige walls amplify the natural light of the space, and an oversized, nearly floor-length window provides captivating views of the wooded landscape at the rear of the home. “You can see right into the woods” through them, Covey said.
The current owners also took out separations between the family room and living room and converted the space into one large room with a white brick fireplace at the far wall, Covey said. The more open living room features a white ceiling with recessed lighting, light beige walls, mahogany-toned wood flooring, and tall windows that look out toward the woods behind the home.
The home’s second story features four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. Covey said the owner’s suite is 18’ by 13’, and includes a walk-in closet as well as a bathroom with dual vanity sinks.
Other notable features of the property include a screened-in back porch, from which guests can take in the woods and wildlife behind the house, a basement with a home gym and walk-out den, and a separate workshop structure that Covey said would be ideal for someone who wants to dabble in carpentry, arts, crafts or music.
