Seller’s Comments
Favorite restaurants in the area: Kingstowne Center is loaded with shops and restaurants, from King Street Blues to Stonefish Grille, Noodles, Johnny Rockets, Chipotle and Panera Bread. There’s an Uno’s, a Macaroni Grille, Pasara Thai Restaurant and our favorite, Shiro Japanese Steakhouse! So many choices - you’ll never have to wash dishes again.
Favorite places to go: The Farmer’s Market in Kingstowne Center during the summer months has various vendors and live entertainment. A great way to enjoy a Friday evening. Or enjoy relaxing at one of the two community pools - the south center is within walking distance, and its a great way to cool down at the end of the day.
Best features of the home: We love the open floor plan with the kitchen open to the eating area and family room where we spend most of our time. There’s a gas fireplace that adds a warmth and coziness to cold winter nights. During the warmer months we especially love entertaining on the back patio surrounded by tiki torches and candlelight. The yard is beautifully landscaped, private and quiet.
Favorite room: The living room is wide open with cathedral ceiling and skylights. The plantation shutters keep the room feeling bright and airy and the sliding glass door leads you right out to the patio and backyard.
Any remodeling since last sale price: Replaced the laminate in the kitchen with Quartz counter tops and replaced all the appliances in 2005. The interior of the house was painted in 2007, crown moulding was added in the family room. Plantation shutters were custom made for the first floor and master bedroom. Updated the light fixtures in family room, eating area and hallways. Gutted and remodeled the master bathroom to create a spa-like bath with double vanity and huge walk-in shower.
Most romantic spot: The back yard on warm summer nights.
What’s in the neighborhood: Community centers of Kingstowne. The South Center is located across the street from the neighborhood and it features one of the two community pools, tennis courts, play ground, exercise room, etc. Also there are walking and hiking trails throughout Kingstowne, but the best kept secret is Kingstowne Park, which abuts the neighborhood has hiking trails and three small lakes. In Kingstowne Center there are countless restaurants, shops and services, including a post office, banks and movie theater.
What I will miss the most: Friendly neighbors and sense of community. Convenience of Kingstowne including the close access to public transportation and proximity to major highways. The house is great and the backyard and gardens will be missed.
