Colonial

This is the one. You've been eying that new build down the street, but this one is better. The 90's knew how to build them. With over 4,000 sqft of finished space, this home boasts three levels of light-filled oversized high-ceiling rooms filled with everything you didn't know you wanted/needed in a home. The main level is perfect for you if you're an entertainer or you're just trying to survive the week. The vaulted two-story family room and open eat-in kitchen that allows you to hang with your guests as you prepare Thanksgiving dinner or watch the little ones as you cook mac'n cheese. The formal dining room gives you a space always ready for school projects or dinner for ten. If formal is your thing, the front living room is always ready to host those guests you don't want getting too far into the house. If you're a work-from-home or a one-level living kinda person, the massive bedroom/office with walk-in closet and attached bath will be your new favorite spot. If outside is more your style, the back deck is perfect for bbq's, bird watching, and even includes a space for a byoht (bring your own hot tub). The upper level opens to below, giving the entire home an open, this-is-my-castle kind of feeling. The west wing is the primary suite, the gem of the house for those needing their own space. This is where you lock the doors on a Saturday morning and relax, or kick back on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy soaking in the tub with tea and a book. For those forced to share their space with the one they love, there are dual separated sinks (other side of the room separated), a shower built for two, and a toilet in its own door. With three additional bedrooms, the upper east wing keeps the kids/guests close, but not too close. They have their own bathroom with doors separating the naked/non-naked areas and dual sinks so that even the most territorial siblings can share. There's even a washer and dryer right where they should be by the bedrooms, and the dirtiest clothes. If that's not enough, there is even more on the lower level. For extended stay guests, you'll love the light-filled bedroom and extra full bath. For those who need a space to let the energy out, the rec room is perfect for morning yoga, afternoon climbs on the rock wall, and evening antics on the ninja course. For those more practical folks, you'll appreciate the attached two-car garage for your cars and bikes, and hobbies and the entry/mudroom space that keeps the backpack, jacket, and shoe chaos from the front door so you won't have to make the mad dash, hide it before they see it, scramble when guests are coming over. This perfect home is conveniently located steps from Homewood Park and the bilingual Oakland Terrace Elementary. It's minutes to the coffee at La Gelatteria or a drink at BabyCat Brewery. If you're more concerned about the everyday staples, you'll be excited to be close to Safeway, Costco, Target, and the Westfield Mall. For commuters, the Redline is only a scooter ride away, and the Beltway is just down the road.
