Once you turn into the 400' circular driveway leading to this sprawling eight bedroom, three and one-half bath expanded ranch, you'll know your search for the ideal family home has ended. Imagine the versatility and possibilities in a residence with this much space. The exercise room you've always wanted, or a home office, a den for Dad, a sewing room for Mom, a computer room for the kids, or accommodations for all your relatives during the holidays. In addition, almost everything is in place for a second floor suite, with large bedroom, full bath, and provisions for a separate entrance-ideal for an au pair or extended family member.

Rear View

Now suppose you had all this, surrounded by two and one-half acres of lush, unspoiled woodlands, where nature's kaleidoscope unfolds from every venue. Towering trees and mature plantings offer shade and privacy to the backyard and adjacent patio, as well as serve to frame this shake-shingled and brick-sided home, nestled in its beautiful and natural setting over 90' from the street. If being a 'land baron' is not what you're into, you may wish to sub-divide the property into two, one-and-one-quarter acre lots (125' x 438' each), and you and your new neighbor will each retain expansive and secluded homesites less than 2 miles from downtown Colonial Westfield. 

The first floor boasts beautiful hardwood oak floors, formal living and dining rooms, a paneled family room with brick fireplace, and a family-sized kitchen with adjacent laundry and powder rooms, as well as a three bedroom, two full bath master wing. The entrance hall features a low maintenance slate floor and convenient guest closet.

Step down to the elegant formal living room with moire silk-lined walls and a large bay window overlooking the front yard. This room is also appointed with dentil moldings, wall-to-wall carpeting and crystal lighting fixtures.

Enhanced by a chair rail, brass and crystal chandelier and wall-to-wall carpeting, the formal dining room also includes a double window overlooking the front yard. Adjacent to the living room, these two rooms maximize your space for gracious entertaining.

Family Room - 19' x 13'

The focal point of the paneled and beamed family room is the floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with log crib, surrounded by built-in cabinetry. A large picture window frames a view of the natural setting, and brings the outside in.

Kitchen - 17' x 13'

Glass sliders open from the eating area onto the backyard, as well as bathe the kitchen in natural sunlight. In addition to abundant cabinet and counter space, conveniences such as a dishwasher, trash compactor, garbage disposal, built-in NuTone Food Center, combination microwave and conventional self-cleaning oven, and built-in planning desk, will delight the family chef. Because the family room and kitchen adjoin, separated only by a waist-high partition, you are never too far from your children or guests while preparing meals.
