Privacy and serenity beckon you to this meticulous Cape Cod style colonial. Custom built by these original owners, this beautiful home has many unique features to offer. To start with the exterior is brick on four sides and the walls are plaster, then add gorgeous hardwood floors on the first and second levels and four ceramic tile full bathrooms, and you have an outstanding home. The craftsmanship that went into building this home is exceptional and has been enhanced by the excellent maintenance, the immaculate condition and loving care given by the owners. Also this home is very large. According to Montgomery county tax records there are over three thousand square feet of finished space on the first and second levels. Additionally there are two unfinished rooms on the second level. This home is indeed a rare find.

As you enter the lovely foyer, you will see the very large dining room on your left and the formal living room on your right. Both rooms are exceptionally sized and boast floor to ceiling bay windows for wonderful views and lots of natural light. Both rooms have custom-made French sheer window treatments that convey. As you walk down the hallway, you come to the library and full bath on your right. This room could also be used as a main level bedroom as it has closet. On your left, the hallway leads to a large coat closet, an extremely convenient laundry/mud room, with exit to backyard. Next one enters the kitchen/ family room area. The kitchen is well-planned with a large pantry, a desk, ample wood cabinets and counter space including a counter bar area for quick meals and snacks. Adjoining the kitchen is the family room with brick raised-hearth fireplace. This floor plan is excellent for easy family living in the informal areas and gracious entertaining in the formal rooms.

On the second level you will find two good-sized bedrooms and a full hallway bath, a hallway linen closet with clothes chute to laundry room, plus another closet (great for out-of-season clothes – presently locked). In addition, there is a very large master bedroom suite with a spacious bedroom, two closets (one walk-in), a dressing area with vanity sink plus another sink in the full bath. In addition, the two unfinished rooms total nearly one thousand additional square feet, and are ready to finish , with duct work and insulation already installed. There are many possibilities for these rooms. They could become a master bedroom suite or home office area or two more bedrooms. A spiral staircase from the family room to these two rooms would provide easy access.

 

A full lower level has a walk-out to the side yard, a very spacious recreation room with another fireplace, a work room, a storage room, a good-sized bedroom and another full ceramic tile bath. The space in the home seems endless.

There is also an oversized two-car side-entry garage, an asphalt driveway with a huge parking pad, a wonderful barn-type storage shed and two and one quarter acres of lovely land that is suitable for maintaining horses, an in-ground pool, or tennis courts. This property is the perfect spot for living the tranquil life in Ancient Oak.
