“It’s a great location for people moving up to the area,’’ O’Driscoll said. “It affords you wonderful privacy. It is in a neighborhood but is not in a subdivision. For the price and the taxes, this is a home that has a lot to offer.” It is also close to shops, restaurants, and Putnam Hospital.
The 3,163 square foot center hall Colonial is listed for $699,900 and sits on more than two acres of private property. Features include gleaming hardwood floors, deluxe crown molding, a gourmet kitchen with a center island perfect for entertaining and a spacious family room with a beautiful stone fireplace. Complete listing details are online.
These homes with niche locations need the specialized services and knowledge of local area real estate professionals. Buyers sometimes miss out on these great properties because they don’t have access to all the different search tools that realtors have through the MLS systems.
“In real estate search criteria, it gets a little lost,’’ said O’Driscoll, who works for Houlihan Lawrence’s Yorktown brokerage. “It falls through the cracks a little bit. When I show the house, people say it’s a unique little area and they love it. It has a lot of great features.”
The second level includes a large master bedroom suite with master bath, French doors to a bonus room or full fourth bedroom, and very spacious additional bedrooms.
There is a spacious full unfinished walkout basement with high ceilings, four-zone heat, three-zone air conditioning and a heated garage.
The exterior landscaping is expertly detailed. There’s a charming front porch, a stone patio, lush lawns, stunning stonework and a completely fenced yard.
This home was built in 2006 and shows like a new home. Taxes are about $17,000 before the star reduction, which is around $3,000 less than some nearby comparable residences.
“Its a custom built home and it includes many upgrades and a lot of extra little details that make it stand out,’’ O’Driscoll said. “The owners are motivated to sell and it is priced to move. It’s a great house and quite a deal for what you get for it.”
