PROPERTY PROFILE
Windwalker Real Estate $1,850,000
Just four short blocks to Main Street, the understated single story home at 16 Quaker Road boasts a spacious and bright floor plan encompassing over 3000 square feet of living area . The home was recently lifted and turned on the lot to take better advantage of light, space, and privacy. It is now sits beautifully on a large corner lot with a welcoming front door opening on peaceful Copper Lane. Anew, full basement was added to accommodate high ceilings and additional living space on the lower level . In essence, this is a new home from stem to stern.

Walking through the front door, you will discover that the house feels much larger and grander on the inside than it appears on the outside. It has been updated, renovated and refreshed with attention to every detail so that this comfortable home offers all the elements and finish of a brand new home. The layout of the house is a sweeping horse-shoe centered on a private brick patio and grassy back yard.

The kitchen features all-new, custom-built, white cabinetry and impressive, dark, honed granite counters, offering a subtle, monochromatic color scheme warmed by the wonderful honey colored wood floors. The large island provides seating for four impromptu diners as well as ample storage. Top quality appliances have been chosen to blend well with the kitchen's color palette; the refrigerator and dish washer are clad in the same simple (yet finely crafted) painted wood surface to match the rest of the cabinets.

The area devoted to the kitchen is roomy, and spills into a grand and sunny great room. This space, which comprises the kitchen the formal dining area and the great room, features dramatic, beamed cathedral ceilings, a central brick fireplace, and a glassed-in rear foyer with side lights and French doors which lead to an inviting brick patio, gardens, and enclosed outdoor shower.

The carpeted floor and chamfered ceilings of this wide-open space are cool and inviting. A half-bath, and a stairway to the patio, complete the utility of the finished basement which is suitable for a home office, playroom, family room or home theater.
