New Listing on Wimsey Lane…Open Sunday 10/18 1-4

How often do you see a home on Wimsey Lane listed for sale? Not often. People who live on Wimsey Lane love living there. A dead-end street located off Eagle Harbor Drive with just 16 houses. This is a place where kids play in the street, neighbors know each other, and there are neighborhood potlucks. At a time when people are making their real estate buying decisions with the long-term in mind, this is a place to move and stay.

The house itself will make you think “home” from the minute you come around the curve in the driveway. A red farmhouse-style with a big front porch welcomes you as you wander past perennial gardens. Inside is a center-hall with dining and living rooms on either side. The family room off the kitchen is huge - plenty of room for a piano and a large sitting area around the fireplace, with two sets of French doors to the back yard. The kitchen is also quite spacious, and includes a walk-in pantry, breakfast area (definitely more than a “nook”) and a separate laundry room with enough space to move around in and even set up a full-sized ironing board. 

Upstairs the layout is great. In addition to the master suite there are two nice-sized bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. There is a fourth upstairs room that makes a nice study, guest room, play space, or… ?

In addition to the hardwoods throughout the main floor, the stairs are also hardwood, as is the upstairs hallway. Other details that make this house stand out from its peers are the crown moldings and built-in cabinetry in the pass-through between the living and family rooms.

If you are not already hooked, read on. Adjacent to the rear of the garage, but with its own entry, is a heated shop with a window. Yes, a SHOP (for those of you with lots of tools and ideas, you know how precious this space is!). Finally, to top it all off, there is a treehouse tucked away in the southwest corner of the property. This property has it all.

Please stop by for a visit at our open house Sunday, October 18th from 1-4pm. For additional details and photos, click here.
