Home of the Week: 5 Beard Way

This fabulous eight-year old colonial on Beard Way, a lightly traveled cul-de-sac, truly has it all. It is sited on just under two acres of lush, private grounds and offers its residents the latest in technology and design. It also boasts 13 elegant and comfortable rooms within 7,200 square feet of living space to accommodate the evolving needs of a growing family.

Its unique architecture is immediately evident from its distinctive exterior fabrication which translates indoors to an original and imaginative blueprint. Oversized spaces provide plenty of room to lodge large gatherings, but the details revealed throughout every corner inspire warm, inviting settings. The 17 x 22 square foot gourmet eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of this home filled with premier ingredients, an abundant of granite surfaces and upgraded cabinetry and a lovely circular breakfast room and center island provided for casual seating. The 16 x 26 square foot fireplaced living room and neighboring 16 x 16 square foot dining area are effortlessly connected by a columned threshold for fluid formal entertaining while the 19 x 23 square foot fireplaced family room wired for surround sound offers a more relaxed, laid-back background.

The second level hosts five generously sized en-suite bedrooms, including a 19 x 22 square foot master suite with a fireplace, walk-in closet and lavish, full private bath. The third story stretches the lodging opportunities with a sixth bedroom and playroom, but these spaces would also make an ideal au-pair, teenager or guest suite.

The lower level offers 1,000 square feet of unfinished space presenting the viable prospect for future expansion, but if more square footage is desired, the custom tree house in the back yard currently contains bunkbeds for exciting outdoor adventures. Whether indoors or out, young or old, this property will provide years of enjoyment and comfort.
