I don’t get to take photos of home listings that are not my own all that often but I jumped at the chance when I saw the potential in one of my broker’s listings. The home is nearly 5,000 sq.ft. (approximately 4,800 sq.ft.) with four bedrooms all on one level.
Built in 2004 on over one acre of land, the home sits prominently at the top of Summit Avenue and resides in a private location with all municipal services (water/sewer) and is only about five minutes to I-87.
Let’s get started with our tour…

The home features a half circle driveway with parking area and garage on the left side of the home.

The entrance to the home is covered with a landscaped and paved walkway leading to the door.

A foyer with exquisite detail greets you and your guests as you walk in. Notice the barrel ceiling.

As you enter the foyer there is a music room which can also serve as a spacious home office.

The dining room features a tray ceiling with recessed lighting and a bay window.

The hallway is completely open to the grandiose living area that overlooks the private back yard.


The kitchen has a full range of high end stainless steel appliances, cabinetry and granite counter tops.

Off the kitchen sits a breakfast nook. Just off the breakfast nook is a screened room and deck.

Screened room.

Back inside, the master suite easily accommodates a full bedroom set.


The master bathroom is designed to indulge you with a shower that has plenty of elbow room, a bench seat and large, deep soaking tub with jets.




The three remaining bedrooms are of varying sizes, all above average, and the third affords a view of the wooded back yard with a built-in window seat. Two of the three bedrooms also have their own on-suite bathrooms.



The lower level of the home spans the entire length and width of the level above it and provides plenty of space for entertainment, relaxation and serving as host to live-in guests.
