New condition, builder's home on 2.8 acres

Not ready for a condo yet? Need extra space for in-laws or those grown children who keep coming back? This new condition, builder’s home is deceptive on the outside and has more than 3000 square feet of living space. Enter through the front door to find a foyer, open to Great Room, with custom book shelves either side of a gas fireplace, with stone surround. Two large windows with custom window treatments are straight ahead, showcasing the private back yard. The Great Room opens on the left to a formal dining room with chair rails, and attractive, crown moldings. Again, the window treatments, silk, included in the sale, are strikingly elegant. The dining room has ready access to the large eat-in kitchen, also assessable from the back door or garage. Off- white ceramic tiles adorn the floor and the counters are a tawny speckled granite; the cabinets, a coffee- finished maple. The appliances are stainless, by Kitchenaid, and include a gas fired cook-top, electric oven, microwave and refrigerator, with freezer on the bottom. Off the kitchen, by the garage, is a large laundry room, with washer and dryer and tub sink.

To the right of the Great room is a hallway that leads to a full bath with tub/shower and vanity sink, and 2 guest bedrooms, one used as an office. Also off this hallway, to the back of the house, is the master suite with large walk-in closet and very large master bath. This has a deep, soak tub with tile surround, a separate walk-in shower, and double sink vanities.

Off the kitchen, by the entrance to the garage, are finished, wood stairs to the lower level. This level has above grade windows and a direct walk-out to the patio, through French doors. The floors have berber, off-white carpeting, and the focal point is the 2nd gas fireplace with stone tiles, and the built-in kitchenette with granite counters, refrigeration and custom shelving. This recreational area has a huge closet, large enough for exercise equipment and three entertaining spaces, one presently hosting a pool table. Off this room is a large, half bath, which could be re-configured to hold a shower, and the entrance to the mechanical room-workshop space that also opens to the back-yard through a large garage door.

The back-yard is afforded privacy by the buffer of woods that begins where the irrigated, well-landscaped yard ends. From the patio, are stone stairs to the back door by the kitchen and access to the second driveway that has electricity and enough room to park an RV. The 2-car garage is over-sized and has a pull down attic for additional storage. The exterior is vinyl-clad with a textured, architectural-singled roof. This home is heated by hydro-water, forced air, by natural gas and cooled by a separate, central system. It has a central vacuum system as well as a security system. It is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, in a quasi-country setting and is equal distance from highway exit (20), Route 195, for Fairhaven or from the Acushnet Ave exit, off Route 140. This is a perfect home for those wanting most of their living space on one level, with the lower level accommodating large parties or in-laws. It is in pristine, new condition and available for viewing with a 24 hours notice.
