Creme de la Cul-de-sac

This nearly new house is on the kind of street where one might encounter blow-up snow globes sitting on freshly clipped lawns and Dads wielding Honey-Do lists barking to the kids to stay out of the street when they see me coming. (And I’m on foot.) Yet despite the glaring lack of bucolic ambiance and despite the location just off High School Road, and despite a peek-a-boo view of the metal fence the city installed along the sidewalk to the north, this house has a certain creme brulee quality nonetheless: crunchy on the outside, yet astonishingly rich and creamy on the inside. From the moment you enter, you are surrounded by deeply comfortable rooms, dark cherry wood cabinetry, a substantial rock fireplace, hardwood floors and a cozy office with French doors.
With such a delightful floor plan, this house by DJ Construction may just be the ideal landing pad for a family of four who wants to be within walking distance of schools and stores and close enough to the ferry for jazz especially if cookie exchanges and Bunko nights are on the checklist of must-haves.
