This charming cape cod in Bramble Farms (South Russell) is on 2.25 acres on a shared drive off Bell Road with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The home is set back among mature trees, perennials and native plantings for a gardener’s delight. The first level is fully functional for one floor living: living room, eat-in kitchen, primary bedroom suite, great room, office, second full bath, laundry room and screened in porch, all freshly painted with beautifully refinished cherry hardwood floors throughout. Need more space? Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths and a large bonus space with two window seats!

The fabulous white kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances has a large center island, adjacent eat-in area with wood-burning fireplace and opens to the cathedral great room. The former dining room is now an office but could be a guest room (full bath across the hall), nursery, or perhaps an amazing pantry with hidden door! Half of the lower level has a drop ceiling and carpet for informal use (fitness equipment, play area). The oversized 3-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and extra storage.

The owners are going to miss the three-season sunroom off the great room for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The great room has a stone, wood-burning fireplace and windows on all walls, showcasing the changes in season throughout the year. Most of the projects to expand the home and make major improvements began in 2010 (see supplements). Make a call to see this wonderful home!
