This week we are in the Town of Brighton presenting a vintage 1930's era "cottage" style Colonial home at 330 Wilmot Road in the Rowland's Tract neighborhood and within walking distance to 12 Corners. This home has not been offered for sale in over 50 years!
Note the asymmetrical design and craftsman details: stone and brick; hewn cedar shingle siding; arches and then lattice all help give this home that cottage feeling. This isn't a cookie cutter box house. This home has the sort of individual personality whose appeal transcends.
Step through a large screened front porch into a reception foyer. The living room is massive and features natural wood paneling, a fireplace, a dramatic combination of windows that pull in southern light. All this is capped off by a cathedral ceiling with exposed timber framing! The dining room is notable for it's built-in corner display cabinets plus a built-in storage china cabinet AND a large four-over-four picture window that looks out to the backyard. Nearly every window in this home has been replace in recent years costing tens of thousands of dollars!
If you've been looking for a very large eat-in kitchen, this one will suit you well. The working area was completely redone by the current owners. Indirect light fills the space. There's a handy back hallway that takes you out to a three season enclosed rear porch. Off of the kitchen is a large family room with built-in bookcases. This room could easily serve as a large guest suite since a full bathroom is adjacent. You can also section off the back area with accordion doors. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two full baths including a full bathroom off the master.
The back yard is verdant and spacious. Imagine summer nights eating on the porch, chatting with family and friends as fireflies twirl. The one and one-half car garage is a relatively recent improvement. You'll find the extra storage space useful.
