Go back and take a look at 17 Miller
Friday, August 28, 2015
Great curb appeal here at 17 Miller Road. They have beautifully laid Belgian Block along the walkway to the front and side door.
17 Miller Road is a perfect house for someone in this price point. Done beautifully; all the rooms you need plus more, along with a nice deck (looks new) and a lovely back garden with a play space. Close to schools and convenient to trains on quiet a cul-de-sac. Does this sound like suburban perfection? Well, I think it might be… Four bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath, with approximately 3000 square feet of living space. All renovations and updates are “green certified” :). Asking $1,469,000 through Houlihan Lawrence. SOLD
Simple is always best. Soothing colors throughout the house make for a very welcoming and comfortable house.
A family room that doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of being in the kitchen!
so comfortable.
The Master is a great size. Not too big, yet gracious.
And the three other bedrooms are equally substantial.
More space that you will use and use!
Where rainy days will pass with lots of fun.

Don’t think this will last long on the market. If you would like to see it, we would love to show it to you!

Small Spaces – PRICE REDUCED
Tuesday, August 25, 2015Consider this “jewel box”. 204 Middlesex Road, listed by Houlihan Lawrence asking $1,049,000. (Original price was $1,125,000). Located close to town and trains, this little gem is waiting for you to fall in love! What you get is all the rooms you need and space for a fabulous garden. Four bedrooms, two baths, and a beautiful kitchen. This is a must see as a new Fall market approaches! TEMP. OFF THE MARKET
204 Middlesex had BIG potential for chic small spaces. Built in 1938, this bungalow has four bedrooms, two full baths and a fabulous back yard for gardening. Open up to the idea that big is not better.
Did you read the July/August 2015 issue of House Beautiful? Lots of great ideas for small spaces. It’s very possible to live BIG in your own Jewel Box.
204 Middlesex is “move in” ready. A clean palate for your favorite fabric. Don’t forget to place the curtain rods as close to the ceiling as possible to help the room seem taller!
Including a fireplace which will make for cozy winter evenings! I think I see the perfect opportunity to add a little Oomph here!
Beautiful kitchen with professional grade appliances. I have visions of the fabric from Albert Hadley’s collection, “fireworks” in red for a pop of color here. (Fireworks is available at Hinson & Co.)
“Fireworks“. Fabulous in the kitchen! Clean and chic.
Family room off the kitchen. Go bold and put a dark color on the walls. It will actually help open up the space! A dark charcoal – perhaps Down Pipe 26 by Farrow & Ball – on the walls would look fabulous with the red “fireworks” window treatment here.
Imagine what you could do here! I see a gorgeous spot in the garden for entertaining.
Cant you see it! The garden ideas are endless. (From my pintrest board).
All the rooms you need in a great location!
If you would like to see this house, please give us a call. If you are currently working with an agent, this is not a solicitation.
