ENCHANTING and well crafted . this craftsmen style cottage was custom built with brick exterior and is accented by a tile roof, dormers, open porches and an abundance of charm. The stone walkway leads you to the front door and a unique wind break with slate floor and glass windows. An entry foyer with marble floor welcomes you into this truly exceptional home with timeless architectural details, rounded walls, arched doorways, curved staircase, beveled ceilings and light-filled, gracious spaces. To the right of the entry foyer is a formal Living Room with beautiful hardwood floors, a lovely stone surround wood burning fireplace, multiple windows and it opens to the Dining Room and Family Room. The formal Dining Room also features multiple windows and has glass French doors leading to the sun-filled Family Room. The Family Room has a tile floor, large windows surrounding all sides, and an arched ceiling. The updated Kitchen features lots of cabinets and counter space, 42 cabinets with a glass front display cabinet, gas cooking, farmhouse sink, and triple windows overlooking the bucolic, landscaped backyard. With a few steps up, this unique floor plan offers two bedrooms on the main floor with beveled ceilings and a hall full bath with tile floor. This entire area can be used as a private main bedroom suite. Up the curved staircase with an original bent wood banister to the second floor you will find a wide hallway, two bedrooms - all with hardwood floors - and a hall tiled bath with double sinks. A large walk-in attic (flexible space for easy storage or future living space) completes the second floor. The grounds are beautifully landscaped - like an English garden - with hydrangeas, Spring Blooms, mature trees, and a bubbling garden pond. Enjoy this serene idyllic setting from the large Deck with built-in seating and inside access to the Family Room. A two car Garage has inside access. This home is part of the quaint and congenial neighborhood of Lindamere that enjoys social and seasonal activities through the year. This very special home has been lovingly cared for and is now ready for its next very special - and very lucky - owner.
