Looking for a meticulously maintained home you can move into, immediately enjoy the backyard which is a Designated Wildlife Habitat, and also be on a quiet, dead-end street, close to a lake and a short stroll from the center of your small, thriving downtown? 1111 Banbury Cross is all that; it's mature landscaping, birds singing, owls hooting, peaceful evenings with sunsets, and relaxing mornings in the garden with a fresh cup of coffee. Approaching the flagstone front porch, you see the exterior has been completely renovated, including the roof, gutters, Pella windows throughout, cement board siding and paint. Step inside and experience the circular flow which makes entertaining easy. The main level has all your public spaces: oversized dining room; den with a wood burning fireplace; kitchen with adjacent breakfast room; extra room for butler pantry, reading nook, etc.; laundry, and the crown jewel--a 550sf sunroom with an expansive 180º view into the lushly landscaped, private backyard. It's a welcoming room, rich with Australian Cypress wood floors and featuring a wood burning stove you'll truly appreciate in winter. This space is the heart of the home! You will retreat here after a day of work, after returning from dinner in Tudor Village or following a concert you attended at Town Green (which you can get to in your golf cart).
Upstairs you'll find your private living spaces: the primary suite; three other bedrooms (one currently used as a primary closet/dressing room); an additional bath; a ‘home office’ room, and a playroom/creative space over half the garage. Storage is plentiful, too, with two separate attic spaces, a clean and spacious basement and an incredibly clean and tidy crawl space complete with vapor barrier. It’s not every day you find a home this well cared for. Everywhere you look you can see the sellers invested a lot in this home, both inside and out, over the 40 years they lived here. Diligent care was the every day norm, not something done to get this one ready to sell.
A short stroll from Avondale Lake, Fletcher Park and all the special places that make Avondale so desirable (Pool & Tennis Club, Avondale Elementary, dining and retail shops at Tudor Village, and Town Green for free concerts and Sunday's Farmers' Market). Come feel how this home can encourage easy living, entertaining and memory making for years to come!
