Winchester Home of the Week: 14 Town Way

14 Town Way, an English cottage, is a delightful enhancement to the Winchester real estate market. Not only is its architectural design unique and creative with a whimsical flair of yesteryear, it was designed and constructed with every modern amenity imaginable. It was also skillfully built with sleek efficiency and draws in the warmth of natural sunlight at every possible chance.

The first artistic features that will catch a prospective homebuyer's eye as they journey throughout the house is its distinctive entryways. Many thresholds have been formed to salute each room with a formal ingress, be it a curved archway or columns. The second noticeable feature is the abundance of natural sunlight seeping through oversized windows and clear doors.

The first level is comprised of four spacious rooms. It offers a 15-by-19 square foot fireplaced living room, an 11-by-13 square foot formal dining area, a charming 11-by-9 square foot home office and a large 25-by-15 square foot eat-in kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, an oversized center island with bench seating and a lovely casual breakfast room.

The second level hosts four bedrooms with a 12-by-17 square foot master suite with a dressing room and three additional bedrooms at 15-by-16 and 10-by-12 sq. ft. (2), a full family bath and a charming 6-by-10 square foot sitting room. The finished basement will experience a lot of use for leisure and recreational activities with its 13-by-18 square foot stone fireplaced family room, an 11-by-19 square foot game room with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a 12-by-14 square foot exercise room. This floor could also be flexibly utilized as a bedroom suite for guests.

For just a sampling of this home's amenities, it offers three-zone heating and air conditioning systems, central vacuum, a security system, sprinkler system and a vintage-style, two-car attached garage. This seven-year old property was resourcefully crafted drawing influences from the charismatic spirit of a European home yet perfect balanced with today's trends and conveniences.
