PENNY LEHRER

Description

Welcome to Bellevue Manor, a small enclave of beautiful brick and stone homes, conveniently located minutes from parks, shopping and commuter paths north and south. This adorable brick colonial was built in 1940 and has had very few owners since, each being great stewards of the property. You will see as soon as you view the home, that the current owners have taken extremely good care of the home. As you enter the foyer, you’ll notice the glowing hardwood floors. To the right you’ll find a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace and from there the addition of a large family room that lets natural light stream from the windows on all sides and allows you access to the covered patio for your summer meals and the spacious, quiet backyard. To the left of the home is the formal dining room with a built in china cabinet and bright bay window and from there is the eat-in kitchen with beautiful wood cabinets. The stainless steel “smudge proof” GE appliances are only 4 years old! Behind the kitchen is the powder room and access to both the driveway and the 2 garages, which can hold 3 cars, or 2 cars with a dedicated workshop with its own 50 amp sub panel! At the end of the hall is a cozy office with built in bookcases, perfect for those private conference calls on work-from-home days. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. The primary suite includes an original bathroom that is great shape, move-in ready and also has the potential to be easily expanded given the size of the bedroom. The bedroom at the end of the hallway has architecturally interesting ceilings and built in closets and drawers. The hall bath has retro black and white tile which is back in style! Closet space abounds upstairs. And there is even a walk up attic with planked storage, making access a breeze! The lower level is dry and partially finished and has plenty of room to make it into a playroom/media room or simply use it for great storage. Upgrades to this home are plentiful! In the current owners’ tenure, in addition to updating the appliances, they created the family room addition; upgraded much of the plumbing in the house to copper all the way to the bathrooms; replaced the water/sewer line to the street; insulated and water proofed the crawl space; replaced the HVAC only 6 years ago with a high efficiency heater and whole house humidifier; replaced the included washing machine this year; replaced all the windows and updated the garage doors and more. One of the best location features about this home is you can actually walk to Bellevue Park. Whether you jog, take dog walks, enjoy music events, play disc golf or are an equestrian, this park will provide enjoyment for you all year ‘round. Make your showing tour today!
