This 5238-square-foot Winchester home, with in-law quarters, is located in the sought after neighborhood of Shipley's Choice on one of the best lots in the neighborhood! Watch your children walk to Shipley’s Choice Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon School, from your kitchen window or take a few steps off the back porch and take the short walk with them up the path. The home is located on a premium wooded lot that is steps from not just the school, but walking trails, swimming pools, and tennis courts.
The homeowners chose to build one of the largest Winchester Homes available - the Monroe. They elected the maximum square footage, with 3576-square-feet above grade and a 1662-square-foot basement that was turned into in-law quarters in 2016. The open architectural design of this home creates space for entertaining. The vaulted ceilings, skylights, and windows with plantation shutters provide for gorgeous natural light and views that set this house apart from the rest. Since the original homeowners are selling the home, their pool bond can be transferred to the purchaser, meaning there will not be years to wait to take advantage of the community’s pools!
This home had a major remodel in 2016. Beautiful hardwood floors were put in throughout the first floor and hallway of the second floor. A new wrap around kitchen with Jen Air Appliances, granite countertops, upgraded gorgeous white cabinetry, and a wet bar make anyone who sees this kitchen have kitchen envy. Preferring a gas stove for cooking, the homeowners paid to have a gas line installed in the home. The sunroom off the kitchen is a unique feature that invites lazy mornings and family gatherings. There is a wood burning fireplace in the living room that creates warmth and coziness in the winter months. There are six bedrooms, four full baths, and a half bath. Three of the four bathrooms have been remodeled. The master bedroom is freshly painted and stunning. It has a porch off the room, a huge sunken tub, separate shower, and a double vanity. In addition to the master bedroom, there are four more nice sized rooms upstairs, as well as a washer and dryer. The rooms are smartly arranged for added privacy, with private baths and double closets. A room can also easily be converted into an office, as the current owners have done.
The in-law quarters are actually an apartment that can be accessed from the main floor or by a separate outside entrance. There is a full kitchen with beautiful white cabinets, granite counter tops, and an island with pendent lighting. The apartment is well lit with recessed lighting in high ceilings. There is even a laundry room in the apartment with a full-sized washer and dryer. It has an open floor plan with a step-down living room, dining area, and an amazing amount of storage space with closet lights that come on automatically upon opening. There is one bedroom in the apartment. Smartly, the apartment has its own heating and cooling system.
The roof on this home is only 14 years old. It has three cooling and heating systems with the most recent being installed in 2021. There is a full house water filtration system, central vacuum, and underground sprinklers for the lawn. All the windows and doors were made by Anderson. There is a double car garage with a window for light. The cute front corner porch and large deck off the rear of the house make nice and relaxing gathering spots. If you feel like a walk, take a few steps off your porch and hit the community’s trails. Take an even longer walk by traveling a ¼ mile by sidewalk and get on the B&A bike trail that goes all the way to Annapolis. Children in this neighborhood go onto Severna Park Middle and Senior High Schools, also National Blue Ribbons Schools. Conveniently located close to I-97, 695, Rts. 3 and 100 makes for an easy commute to the airport (15 minutes), north towards Baltimore (20 minutes) or south towards Annapolis (20 minutes) and DC (45 minutes).
Please stop by during our open house, August 17th & 18, 11am-3pm.
