Encompassing almost 2, 800 square feet, this four bedroom three bath Cape Cod home was extensively remodeled in 2005 creating a move-in ready home in the prestigious lower Bel Air neighborhood.
Upon entering the home, one is lead into a warm and invited formal living room with hardwood floors, crown moldings and an elegant marble accented fireplace.

To the other side is an open family room with built in speakers, gaming area and its own bank of French doors leading to a private covered patio, verdant garden and grassy yard. The inset brick patio has curtains for extra privacy is the perfect spot for an evening cocktail or al fresco dining on a warm summer night.
Adjoining the living and family rooms are a gourmet kitchen and dining area.

In addition to the common areas, the downstairs has three bedroom and two baths. The first bedroom is just off the kitchen and could be a perfect maid’s or office.
