About this home
In real estate how overused are the words, “storybook” and “magical”? I think they should be banned. Wait, I think they should be banned starting tomorrow. Offered here is a classic Miller-built storybook colonial on a gently curved, gently downhill sloped one-way no cut-thru magical block. Really.
This c.1949 home retains the original pull of a less chaotic era. Brick & siding and a slate roof are good examples. Nicely updated over the years, you will find a well-proportioned living room with a wood burning fireplace, a proper dining room, a modern kitchen, a family room with another wood burning fireplace, AND a charming bedroom with ensuite bath. The upper level has three bedrooms and two full baths, including the primary with updated bath ensuite.
The lower level was completely renovated in the last six months and has a nice multi-purpose room, a full bath, a smart home office, laundry, and garage access. The entire home was recently painted inside and out, and a brand-new AC unit was just installed May 1st, to be exact!
The setback and angle of the home particularly benefit from Sumner’s hilly topography compared to the straight grids of newer suburban neighborhoods; in the backyard, surprisingly spacious, there is a sense of privacy as experienced when exiting through the family room to the appealing flagstone patio abutting to an incline with mature landscaping and an expansive grassy area. Park-like.
Aside from just being a beautiful neighborhood, it’s proximity to, well, everything makes it one of the most sought-after subdivisions in the area. It would require another brochure to list the restaurant scene. But worth mentioning: the new Westbard Square (Giant), Kenwood Station (Wholefoods – and I must mention Ledo’s), and Sumner Square (Safeway) And speaking of sought-after how about the Woodacres/Pyle/Whitman school cluster?
When I sold this home to the owners almost two decades ago, after looking at many houses when we came upon this property, we knew all the others were just houses and immediately they knew this was home. Now it’s your turn....
