Description

Welcome to 1502 Bedford Road, an elegant two-story residence in the coveted Deerhurst neighborhood. Set on a spacious lot, this home stands out as one of the area’s larger properties, boasting mature, meticulously maintained landscaping that enhances its timeless charm. The current owners have completely updated the house over the past 17 years, including a completely renovated, gorgeous designer kitchen, a master bath with California closets, a home office on the main floor, and recently installed Anderson windows. Upon entering the house, you are greeted with handsome wainscotting & beautiful hardwood floors throughout this home. Enter the spacious Living Room, located off to the right of the foyer, featuring a working wood-burning fireplace and custom silk curtains, along with crown molding that adds charm to this room. The Dining Room is next on our tour. It features crown and chair molding, paired windows, and an open view of the porch, which is great for afternoon tea with a spectacular, calming view of the entire side yard. The Kitchen is next to the Dining Room with three entrances, making it a central part of the home. The designer kitchen was completely remodeled in 2011, featuring granite countertops, soft-close Omega shelves and cabinets, a five-burner vented gas Wolf cooktop, a built-in KitchenAid oven/microwave, reverse osmosis, and two bay windows that add brilliant southern light, perfect for flowers to lift your spirits. All Kitchen Aid appliances are stainless, plus a nice wine rack to store your dinner selections. A small, cute deck off the Kitchen, inspiring a potted flower/herb garden, is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee.

The Family Room has a gas fireplace, crown molding, four new Anderson windows, a wall-to-wall wool carpet, and lovely Hunter wooden shades. The bookcases will remain, so bring all your reading materials and photographs to embellish this great family area. The Office is the last room on this main floor with its French doors connecting it to the Family Room. The Office is an excellent space for the work-at-home professional, with hardwood floors, and crown molding.
