Effortless living and richly appointed: This patio home in The Mews of Bedford which sets a new standard in “over 55” living, offers uncompromised quality throughout. Step through the front door and be greeted by light filled spaces. The open concept living room and dining room features gleaming hardwood floors, architectural moldings that highlight the walls and ceiling, and stunning custom lighting. The living room, separated by Roman columns, is enveloped by walls featuring a tasteful faux finish highlighted with 18 carat gold. The tray ceiling is illuminated with cove lighting and the gas fireplace takes center stage with its custom mantle inlaid with granite. The master bedroom is well proportioned and has a large triple window to take advantage of the westerly views of your private back yard and sunsets. The master bath is well appointed and features a separate dressing table/vanity. The guest bedroom also is well proportioned and has a walk-in closet. The laundry area, conveniently located between both bedrooms, features stackable, high efficiency washer and dryer. Raised panel birch cabinetry, granite island, hardwood floors and spacious dining area make the kitchen both functional and fabulous. In the lower level, nothing has been compromised. The large family room is anchored by a fireplace and the ceiling height is enhanced by a tray ceiling. A kitchenette makes “snacking” a cinch and an exercise room/3rd bedroom with mirrored doors provides a great space to tackle your morning workout. The full bath features a tile shower with glass doors, tile flooring and a graceful pedestal sink. A den/home office, cedar closet and mechanical rooms can also be found in the lower level. This home even has an interior sprinkler system throughout for additional peace of mind. The exterior setting of this home is wonderful. The mahogany front porch invites you to linger and enjoy the peaceful environment. The brick courtyard beckons you to dine “al fresco” and the private, fenced back yard abuts common land. Step through the attached two car garage to the separate “grilling patio”. An irrigation system, extraordinary common area landscaping, formal gatehouse/entrance and gas lamps throughout the common areas combine luxury with a low maintenance lifestyle that will not disappoint even the most discriminating buyer.
