Listed for $4,500,000
Three wishes led them to 3 Meadow Way: space for their growing daughters; a neighborhood where the girls could make friends and be close to their school; and a tight and efficient building. Nestled in the magical Larches neighborhood, the house clinched the first two. and, with extensive renovations, they created the 3rd. A gracious brick colonial with over 5,300 square feet of living space, the house, filled with gorgeous light and large scaled rooms, was soon filled with a steady stream of friends. And, once they reconstructed a grand stairway and renovated bathrooms and the kitchen, it worked perfectly for them all. By upgrading to high efficiency heating and cooling, replacing and refurbishing windows, insulating throughout, restoring the slate roof and repointing the brick exterior, they got the tight and efficient home they desired. The only hitch was England calling them back home. So, as life takes them down a new road, 3 Meadow Way awaits you with its lovely space, wonderful neighborhood and fantastic condition.
