Ranch/Rambler

This luxury ranch estate boasts a whopping 8,295 square feet (with another 1,152 in the basement) on a lovely 1.5 acres. In 1998 the home was completely remodeled and expanded by the local, renowned architectural firm of Reader and Swartz. This home features beautiful, all-brick craftsmanship with herringbone details and hardscaping, curated landscaping, and mature trees for additional privacy. Inside, each room is stately, with fine details such as dentil molding, chair railing, hardwood floors, pleasing paint choices, and several fireplaces. The windows are also plentiful, especially along the rear-facing side of the home, allowing for big doses of natural light. With all that square footage, you’ll be delighted by the many locations to relax, retreat, or gather. The first is a formal living room, big enough for sofas and a piano while still feeling inviting and cozy. In the formal dining room, easily seat a dozen or more, plus add in display cases and buffet pieces. A large fireplace gives this space added warmth. You won’t believe the gourmet kitchen—a true chef’s dream where high-quality wood cabinets surround not just one, but two sizeable islands. One houses a commercial-grade gas range plus an electric range, and you’ll find additional refrigerator and freezer appliances conveniently in-island too. Featuring two commercial grade ovens (one electric and one gas), plus a warming drawer. On one end, an adjacent informal dining sits beside yet another Rumford fireplace. On the other end, segue directly into the spacious family room, where you can arrange dining and comfortable furniture in the layout of your choice, all anchored by a massive fireplace. On this floor, there are a total of four bedrooms—all with attached baths and walk-in closets. The primary suite gives you the kind of space you’ve longed for, holding essential furniture and extras, plus more in the adjacent sitting room. This home redefines “walk in closet” by giving you a “walk in room.” A bathroom of a similar size houses a long double vanity, private commode area, shower, and whirlpool tub (with a TV if you want to catch up on shows while you soak). The laundry room is a marvel with two washers and dryers, banks of cabinets, and counters for folding. A half bath rounds out the main level. Upstairs is a bonus bedroom and full bath plus unfinished attic storage. Head downstairs to enjoy more prime living, recreating, and gathering space. It’s carpeted and contains another fireplace and half bath. You won’t be left wanting for places to relax or gather in the backyard oasis—there’s plenty. An undercover patio with a tabletop fire pit faces the rectangular swimming pool (with a slide and diving board) and backs to a formidable brick fireplace. On the other end of the pool is an outdoor patio with plenty of seating and umbrellas that can be used for shade or left closed to sunbathe plus a raised deck perfect for dining al fresco. The beautifully bricked hardscape opens to the lawn and is fully fenced. A pool house stores your pool items easily, and on the other side of the lawn, a larger building stores garden and maintenance tools and equipment. The home includes two attached garages featuring two bays each. And with its location right by the Winchester Country Club, it’s only minutes from downtown. This is truly a unique property and opportunity—one you’ll want to view in person!
