Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac on the much-sought-after Forest Hill Court, this rare and beautiful home was designed by architect John Lundeen for his own family and features many gracious details unseen in modern builds. The front foyer has a sightline that goes through the spacious living room's stunning back wall of windows; one can see the dense and beautiful forest in back. The foyer features one of five fine crystal chandeliers in the home. Built-in bookcases flank the black marble (gas) fireplace and mantel in the living room; fine dentil woodwork seen here is echoed in two built-in corner shelving/cupboard areas in the elegant dining room, which also features a bay window and recessed alcove perfect for a buffet. Elegant, custom-made inner and outer draperies will stay in the living room. In addition to the three bedrooms pictured, there is a fourth room upstairs which does not currently have cool air, but there is a gas line for heat. It is a spacious room with a closet and skylight which has been used as a bedroom, an artist's studio, and playroom. It could also be a lovely home office. The basement holds not only a laundry area and craftsman's workshop, but a bar, three large closets for storage, another possible home office space, but also a spacious family/recreation room with wood-burning fireplace. The basement features two sump pumps and has been completely waterproofed with a lifetime guarantee. The walnut paneling is genuine. Master bedroom and bathroom are on main floor; upstairs holds two (possibly three) bedrooms, another bathroom, spacious linen closet and closet for off-season clothing, and not one but two attics, one featuring a cedar closet. The three season porch has both screen panels and glass panels, as well as electrical outlets, a ceiling fan/light, and wall mounted lamp. There is plenty of room for both dining and relaxing in the porch. This is a priceless, luxurious haven at all times of the day. There is double driveway leading to an attached, two car garage with plenty of extra room for canoe, holiday decorations, etc. The kitchen has smart, concealed storage pull-outs in addition to traditional cupboards. Its Dutch door opens up to a small side patio. Light streams in the double windows above the double sink. Look out to the beautiful front lawn surrounded by classic white fence. Square footage has been updated to include all livable space and to specify lot size (11,250 square feet or 0.26 acres)as stated in official record. Also, this home is technically 11/2 stories as, because of the generous attic space, the upstairs "footprint" doesn't match the main floor. Cooling is Central and Heating is High Fission C Forced Air Furnace. No VA or FHA loans. We are certainly willing to negotiate buyer's agent commission with the right offer.
