Set on a splendid site backing to open space and woods, this dramatic Gershwin model with a solarium extension and loft will delight you. As you walk through the living and dining room and on to the kitchen and family room, the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the solarium will draw your eye, with a half round window high on the wall above. Several transom windows add to the natural light flowing into the house. An office opposite the living/dining room could become an additional bedroom, with easy access to the hall bathroom, or a hobby room, music or reading room. Rich hardwood flooring through the formal area and kitchen, with carpeting in other areas and bedrooms. The gourmet kitchen has granite countertops, cherry cabinets, an electric cooktop and double oven plus microwave, large refrigerator and dishwasher. Several appliances have been replaced. The en suite primary bedroom has two closets, and the bathroom has a soaking tub, double vanity and a large shower with a seat. The guest bedroom is located in a separate hallway with an adjacent bathroom. On the upper floor is a second family room, bathroom and spacious bedroom with a large closet. Over the garage is the sky basement generally used for storage, with attic access. The custom patio overlooks the woods, and a feeling of serenity descends as you enjoy the view and the birdsong. The Symphony Village community is well established, with mature trees throughout, and an impressive clubhouse with many amenities, including a concert hall for the many events organized by the various committees. The main gathering area is bright and welcoming, and is the location for semi-monthly social hours where you bring a dish to share and get to meet your neighbors. Several groups with varied interests meet in the clubhouse on a regular basis, and you might walk through the clubhouse and see folks learning to paint in the craft room, others playing pool, some playing mahjong in the concert hall, or committee meetings to keep things humming along. You can walk outside to the covered patio area and the pool beyond, where residents enjoy holiday picnics, quiet evening time, and fun with the kids during the day. The indoor pool is open every day from early morning until late at night, and you can show up for water aerobics every weekday morning at 9:00A.M. Currently there are Spanish classes offered, in addition to soul line dancing, and at any time you can learn how to play bridge or hand and foot, so there is plenty to keep everyone busy. However, there is no requirement to participate in any activities, and you can live a quiet life in Symphony Village enjoying retirement or still working. There are many areas to walk in around the neighborhood, and in the clubhouse grounds is a pergola to sit and watch the world go by, a kids' playground, a picnic area, bocce, a putting green (and active league) and a trail leading to Dunkin' Donuts and the shopping center just minutes away.
