Weston Home of the Week: 40 Orchard Ave.

Staying on top of the real estate market is energy well spent in searching for a new home. The premium properties, combining desired features, such as location, presentation, amenities and overall comfort, is an intricate residential recipe and one that is quickly recognized when that winning blend is offered. This stunning Gambrel Cape on the south side of Weston boasts these and many more engaging traits and once widely exposed, will spend minimal time on the open real estate market.

The nearly one and a half acre grounds provide the perfect introduction into this spacious and well appointed home that graciously tenders an open floor plan, generous room dimensions and timeless architecture that includes high end finishes, custom built-ins and a family-friendly haven. The first floor offers a 24 x 14 square foot fireplaced living room, a 13 x 15 square foot formal dining area, a 20 x 15 square foot fireplaced family room and a 17 x 13 square foot gourmet Rutt handcrafted kitchen. This level also includes four of the home's six bedrooms measuring at 17 x 13, 15 x 12, 16 x 11 and 12 x 14 square feet. Sleeping quarters on this level not only provide exceptional room versatility but also options for residents who may now or in the future desire one level accommodations.

The second level hosts incredibly private lodging solutions with a luxurious 20 x 16 square foot master bedroom and a 12 x 15 square foot bedroom suite. The finished basement supplies recreational and leisure options for its residents with a large 35 x 25 square foot exercise room, sauna, cedar closet and a 27 x 14 square foot fireplaced playroom (not included in the listed square footage). The generous landscape enhances pastime opportunities further with a private Rebound Ace tennis court, similar to the Australian Open surface.

Commuters and local travelers will be very pleased with the convenient location of this Weston home with easy access to Rtes. 90, 95, 30 and 16. The successful formula now complete, prospective homebuyers may now be asking themselves how or why this incredibly advantageous property is still on the market. The answer is, it was only posted five days ago and word is just now leaking of its availability. Safe to say with its price-point and all it has to offer, it will not be open very long.
