9 eVERETT Avenue

9 Everett Avenue is an elegant, 1911 Craftsman Colonial with a premier Winchester address.  The home is set on a third of an acre with mature trees and hedging, across from Upper Mystic Lake.  Enter the home through the original lead glass French Door into the stunning entry with quarter-sawn oak floors and refined, original Craftsman moldings.  Directly across the front door, the elegant staircase turns twice in front of an oversized window, added by the sellers, that lets in an abundance of light.  To the right is a well-proportioned dining room with original fireplace, natural stained oak beams and a large bay window. The living room on the opposite side of the entry mirrors the Dining Room’s craftsman details and has a second original fireplace.  Off both the living and dining rooms are twin sun rooms, giving the floor plan a sense of balance and symmetry. Both sun rooms have ample windows on three sides, letting light into the entire first floor. These rooms are perfect as offices or additional family rooms.

Beyond the entry hall, is the updated European Kitchen, dazzling in all white.  The entire redesign was completed in 2010, including pristine, white marble countertops.  Professional series, stainless steel appliances were updated in 2015. A bay window opens up to the back of the house, letting in even more light.

Heading up the stairs, you arrive at a generous landing with an upstairs sitting room directly ahead, that could also be used as a 5th bedroom or office.  The original Lead Glass French Doors leading into the room, echo the entryway doors directly below and allow light to stream into the hallway from the south side of the home.  On either side of the hall are two large, light-filled bedrooms. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and the bedroom on the west side has an additional original fireplace. The hallway leading to the third bedroom has a charming, original linen closet, large enough to be purposeful today. Also off this hallway is a Jack and Jill entrance to the bathroom off the East bedroom. The third bedroom at the north side of the home is private and cozy, and faces the backyard.  This room would also be excellent as a nursery, and is closest to the Master suite.

The master suite is located on the entire third floor of the home.  This space has been completely updated by the sellers in 2010, including a modern, master bathroom with high-end finishes and an oversized shower.  Also added is closet system to for two, including a large walk-in. Cathedral ceilings and multiple large dormers give it a light and airy feel; making it a perfect space to retire at the end of the day.  The large space has ample room for a king-sized bed and an adjoining sitting area.

Outside, the backyard has been completely enclosed by a tall, now mature hedge offering privacy.  A charming bluestone patio off the kitchen has lovely dappled light beneath maple trees, and is a favorite place to unwind or entertain.
