We all know those homes – the ones where you walk in and can immediately sense how good it is; they are few and far between and this is one of them. This remarkably well cared for home has everything you want and need. Nestled down a private driveway, this Ruxton colonial is more than meets the eye. A large formal living room with a stately wood burning fireplace opens to a formal dining room with French doors to the patio. The eat-in kitchen offers a center island and was ahead of its time with an adjoining laundry room. You might think the cozy den, adjacent to the kitchen (and with a gas fireplace), is enough to complete the living space – but there’s more. The family room is gracious in size and includes another gas fireplace, custom built-ins and a wet bar – all steps from the kitchen. The second level is just as pleasing. The primary bedroom is the sanctuary you have always wanted. Awash in natural light, this suite includes a large dressing room, a spacious bathroom and a private balcony that overlooks the lush gardens. Three more bedrooms and a full bathroom are nicely complemented by an open-concept office with custom built-ins. The basement has a finished recreation room, a full bathroom, storage and utility room. Coupled with a two-car attached garage, you have all the space you need for your toys (of the kid and adult variety)! Have you heard about the waitlists for installing pools? No need to wait here. A gorgeous pool, ideally situated off the patio, will make you the envy of all your friends. The brick patio is an entertainer’s dream - and flows nicely from the kitchen and the dining room. Surrounding it all – mature and established gardens that bring a sense of joy and peace. This home has been lovingly updated and maintained – you will feel it the moment you walk in the front door. Come in and be delighted!
