Holden’ Open Holden! This Sunday – take a drive to Holden and preview any or all 12 listings!

March 5, 2012

This coming Sunday HOLDEN IS OPEN!!!  We are holding 12 listings open in Holden on 3/11!

According to Neighborhood Scout, “Holden is the 108th largest community in Massachusetts and has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Holden is home to many people who could be described as “urban sophisticates”. Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. “Urban sophisticates” is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call ‘urbaneness’. But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

Because of many things, Holden is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties”

So come see for yourself!  All listings are open 1pm to 3pm unless noted:

Open Sunday…perfect West Marlborough location on this colonial…with a creative touch inside!

March 2, 2012

Open this Sunday 12pm to 2pm this colonial has a ton to offer in living space with its four bedrooms and oversized living room with fireplace.  I wouldn’t want to overshadow the formal dining room that opens up to the screen porch through a set of double french doors…or forget to mention the full pantry with first floor laundry…BUT

Check out the hardwoods and stunning display of the entrance foyer and upper stair case!  This is a true trip to the past and has been maintained throughout the years!  The house itself has been brought forward to modern-day but it still looks like a grand West Side Colonial!

I wouldn’t want to forget the full walk up attic or the full dry basement either.  Stop in Sunday and see!

Time:  12pm to 2pm

Open Sunday 1pm to 3pm – 101 Temple Street West Boylston

February 25, 2012

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this house on Sunday, 2/25 in West Boylston.  Not only is a great commuting location but it’s BRAND NEW on the inside!

Construction was finished at the beginning of ’06 on what used to be a small 2-story cape style home.  After bringing the house down to the studs (and replacing most of those too) this is now an amazing 3 level contemporary full of rich details and fine upgrades.  Here are some of the highlights:

Kitchen:  The kitchen features granite counters with solid maple cabinets.  No IKEA stuff in here!  A Jenn-air range in the center island compliments the double wall convection ovens.  All stainless steel appliances and the breakfast bar is tastefully set apart with a small row of glass blocks.  The glass blocks are sized so that you can put in beta fish tanks!

 

Layout:  The open concept living space of the family room, eat in kitchen and formal dining room with french pocket doors looks up to an open loft above with skylights.  The loft has both an open area and a closed area that can be used as an additional bedroom or office with some privacy.

 

 

Master Bedrooms:  That’s right – it’s supposed to be plural.  This house has not one but two Master Bedrooms with their own baths.  One of them even has a fireplace!  The Master baths are spacious, tiled and feature a multi-jet shower and jacuzzi tub.

 

 

Lower Level In-Law:  The walk out has been transformed into a full in-law suite with fireplace, full kitchen and full bath.  But don’t stop there – there is also a media room!  Don’t need an in-law?  How about a home office with its own entrance?  Great space for entertaining, housing kids home from college, moving in the parents, doing the carpet commute – you decided!  It’s THERE !  And all finished with high-grade materials and a beautiful glass door walk out that lets tons of natural light in.

 

SO…with all of that and hardwoods, easy commuter location, Anderson windows, 2.9 acres backing up to conversation land and the reservoir – what’s not to love about this house!  If you were to buy a basic house and put in these upgrades it would be twice this price!  Stop in on Sunday and take a look because I have so much to say about this house it’s too much to type!

 

SNEAK peak! West Boylston home coming to market at $121 per finished sq foot!

February 19, 2012

YES!  You can STEAL this house at its list price!  This home in West Boylston was completely remodeled in 2006 from a small two-story bungalow to an amazing 3900 square feet of gorgeous living space.  I don’t want to give away all the great details yet but I am very much looking forward to showing the two master bedrooms with private master baths, fireplaces and custom kitchen featuring granite counters, hardwood floors, Jenn-Air  cook top range and double wall ovens.

I am overdoing the sneak peak…I’ll save the details of the in-law on the lower level with private stone patio entrance for when the listing goes live!
