About this home
Although Lucy Honeychurch's securing "a room with a view" may be the event that launches E. M. Forster's novel of that same name, it's the larger theme of Lucy learning to trust & follow her own heart that prevails. So too here on Simms Road: you'll notice as you move from room to room in this bright, contemporary home just how beautiful the views are -- not the grandiose views of rivers or mountains, but the more intimate kind. Take the front facing office, for example, or the main vaulted living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows & fireplace, all backdropped by large oaks & evergreens. Or the commodious chef's kitchen, or that first BR down the hall: sure, the rooms are nice, but it's the sparkling pool & the intimate patio areas, situated "just so" in the private back yard, that draw the eye. And the owner's suite. True, there's a gorgeously remodeled bathroom, large double closets, skylight and more, but it's the view that makes you look: sun-dappled side lawn, framed by the woods beyond, bringing the outside in, again. So come pay a visit. And perhaps you'll discover, like Lucy, that it's not just rooms and views that await you here, but the next chapter of your own life.
