Home of the Week: 6 Alice Drive

Even while vacant, it is easy for prospective homebuyers to imagine personal furnishings and years of memories filling the 11 rooms in this magnificent young Wayland colonial. Many spaces have been decorated with neutral palettes to complement individual preferences and some have been granted warm, soothing tones to reflect its intended use. With its strategic design and appropriate color choices, character and ambiance have already been initiated with only individual enhancements required to complete the picture.

The first floor maintains is fluid floor plan with four, spacious common rooms, beginning with separate 13 x 13 square foot formal living and dining areas. Families will comfortably unite in the 15 x 22 square foot fireplaced family room which conveniently neighbors the 14 x 30 square foot kitchen that comes fully equipped with a large center island, an abundance of cabinet and counter space, high-end appliances and a lovely breakfast area. This delightful culinary center also opens into an oversized deck with a shade awning that overlooks the nearly one acre lush landscape.

The second level hosts four generously-sized bedrooms, with a 15 x 17 square foot master suite that includes a walk-in closet and full, private bath and three family bedrooms at 13 x 18 and 13 x 14 (2) square feet. This story also offers an outfitted 6 x 9 square foot laundry area and an 11 x 12 square foot bonus room that would make an ideal office, playroom or second family room. The walk-up attic provides viable options to add additional square footage to this already spacious home with its elevated ceiling and existing plumbing. The walk-out basement, however, already enhances the MLS living area with an additional 500 square feet with a 12 x 23 square foot playroom and a 15 x 14 square foot workshop.

This dynamic eight-year young home was not only resourcefully designed with liberal proportions, it was also skillfully fabricated with many other benefits, such as advantageous storage solutions, an oversized garage and a beautifully landscaped nearly one acre lot. Virtually every desire of today's homebuyer was carefully considered and followed through in its original construction, and later consciously maintained by its previous and current owners to offer a present-day residence that will develop and adapt as its occupants needs evolve.
