On the corner lot at 2701 Remington Road in Oakcrest Farms, a brick-front residence is on the market for $1,075,000. This home offers a stately facade with a gently sloping front lawn, mature trees and a custom-designed flagstone walkway that leads to the front door and around the side of the house to a gate opening into the back yard.
The property includes a side-entry two-car garage and plenty of locations to enjoy a summer breeze. The fully fenced back yard is shaded by mature trees and includes garden beds and a peaceful brick patio. Off the main-level breakfast room is a spacious deck perfect for barbecuing and entertaining. A smaller private deck rests just outside the first-floor master suite.
This home, built in 1988, provides an impeccable setting for entertaining indoors, too. The formal rooms at the front of the home open easily into a spacious casual living area at the back of the main level. The lower level, finished about five years ago, offers sweeping spaces for larger crowds.
Guests are welcomed in the two-story foyer, which has golden-oak hardwood flooring, crown moldings, a chandelier and a dramatic Palladian window that fills the home with light. Nearby are an expansive coat closet and a charming powder room with a maple vanity and ceramic tile flooring.
The formal living room includes golden-oak hardwood flooring, crown moldings and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the front lawn. On the opposite side of the foyer, the formal dining room also has golden-oak hardwood flooring, crown moldings, chair-rail moldings and wainscoting. This room also has a chandelier and two floor-to-ceiling windows facing the front lawn. A butler’s pantry links the dining room with the generously proportioned kitchen.
The kitchen and adjoining breakfast room feature ceramic tile flooring and recessed lighting, along with multiple skylights, a double window over the kitchen sink and a sliding glass door to the sun deck. The kitchen has Imperial Red granite counters and a matching granite center island, with an abundance of raised-panel maple cabinets. A ceramic tile backsplash and under-cabinet halogen lighting have been installed in the kitchen, along with upgraded stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, double convection ovens and a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer.
Two steps lead down into the family room, which is open to the kitchen and breakfast area. The family room has golden-oak hardwood flooring, two sets of French doors that open onto the sun deck, two skylights and a floor-to-ceiling brick gas fireplace with a raised brick hearth.
Just beyond the family room is an oversized laundry room and mudroom, with a door to the garage and an outer door to the flagstone path that leads to both the front and back yards. The laundry room has multiple cabinets for additional storage.
On the opposite side of the home is the first-floor master suite, a private retreat with a vaulted ceiling. The master sitting room includes French doors to a private sun deck, a gas fireplace and built-in bookcases and cabinets. The master bedroom has upgraded carpeting and a box bay window, with a deep walk-in closet and a large double-door closet flanking the entrance to the master bath. The master bath features ceramic tile flooring, a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, a maple vanity with dual sinks, a glass-enclosed shower and a deep Jacuzzi whirlpool tub set underneath a Palladian window.
A second master suite is located on the upper level and includes a double-door closet and a private full bath with a double-sink vanity. This bedroom also has pull-down stairs to attic storage. All the upstairs bedrooms include carpeting, and two of the bedrooms have ceiling fans.
Three additional bedrooms are on the upper level, along with a hall bath with ceramic tile flooring, a maple vanity with dual sinks and a combination tub and shower. One of these bedrooms has French doors and is currently in use as a home office. This bedroom has a double-door closet and a double window with a treetop view.
About five years ago the owners finished the home’s lower level, creating plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing. The entertainment room has carpeting, recessed lighting and sliding glass doors leading to the brick patio. This room has space for a sitting area, a Ping-Pong table and other game tables, and includes a deep closet with shelving for storing games and toys.
Nearby is the media room, which has surround-sound wiring and a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, a sink, cabinets and space for a microwave. Also on the lower level are a fitness room and a full bath with ceramic tile flooring as well as an expansive unfinished storage room.
