Freshly painted in a designer palette — it’s one of many features that make 531 North Road in Sudbury tops in its class.
"This is a sophisticated colonial, with a wonderful color scheme that just makes you feel relaxed and at home," said Realtor Irma Brodie of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. "In addition, the home is in excellent move-in condition."
As you sweep up the circular drive to this 2,751-square-foot home it welcomes you with it’s warm, historic-house, butter-tone colonial paint palette and established perennial plantings. And the large, level back yard of this acre-shy lot boasts its own special perks with pond access and tranquil views.
"The pond is a terrific bonus," noted Brodie. "It’s especially nice with the two-tier deck, great for summer entertaining."
Of course, before we can entertain, we have to tour. Listed for $609,000, this home has interior amenities that begin in a traditional center-hall foyer, which opens to both a formal living room and a dining room.
Measuring 13-by-12, the dining room features hardwood flooring, chair rail and crown molding. A center chandelier sets an inviting mood, and there’s ample space for a formal table and buffet for entertaining.
Moving left from the foyer we find a 15-by-18 formal living room with hardwood flooring and crown molding. It currently houses a sizable suite of furniture as well as a baby grand piano, demonstrating the considerable floor space. The living room overlooks the front circular drive and also offers pastoral views of an expansive side yard.
At the center of the home’s floor plan is a 17-by-10 kitchen. Built in 1985, the kitchen has benefited from a recent makeover. It boasts a fresh look with natural-finish maple cabinetry and fair-colored granite counter tops. The open soffit design is accentuated by a partially vaulted ceiling which features two skylights. The high ceiling design lends a contemporary touch to this colonial home and gives the kitchen an open and airy feeling.
GE Profile stainless steel appliances, including a gas-burning stove, are found in the kitchen’s workspace. An oversized undermount sink enhances the amenities, which also include updated lighting fixtures throughout. The flooring shifts from wood to tile in the kitchen work area, defining the space and adding durability. Sliding glass doors open from the casual dining area here to the decks, offering easy access for outdoor dining.
From the kitchen, we pass by a half bath which has been thoroughly renovated and boasts a marble tile floor and solid surface counter.
An interior hall then opens to a 15-by-19 family room, which can also be accessed from the formal living room. If the kitchen of this home provides the anchor, the family room serves as the heart. This is a decidedly family-friendly space, boasting a deep bay window, brick hearth fireplace, partially vaulted ceiling and hardwood flooring. There’s ample space for furniture placement, including an entertainment center.
The second story of the home features three large bedrooms, the master measuring 15-by-18. The master bedroom features crown molding, newer wall-to-wall carpet and a sizable walk-in closet. A private full bath features a vaulted ceiling, updated vanity and tiled full tub/shower.
A second family bath includes similar updates with a newer vanity and tile flooring.
The two additional bedrooms on the second floor measure 15-by-11, and both feature double closets and wall-to-wall carpet.
The second-story hall in this home wraps around to third-floor access. The third-floor ready-to-finish space could offer fourth bedroom space to the floor plan, as this North Road property boasts a four-bedroom-capacity septic system.
A finished lower level with walkout access in this home brings more options to house-hunters. The open space easily accommodates both a media room and billiard room. Adding to the possibilities is an office nook with good storage space available.
The home’s systems are located in nearby unfinished square footage, which also includes an additional ready-to-be finished room.
Other amenities include a two-car garage, sprinkler system, central vacuum, and radon remediation system. And with summer on the way, the new owners of this Sudbury home will appreciate the recently installed central air, as well as three zones of heat in colder weather.
