Let the box-checking begin. Single-floor living. Check.

Home office and outdoor space? Check, check.

With more than 1,500-square feet of living space, size definitely rates a check mark.

What about parking? Check.

Thats just for starters, too. This wonderful home at Ferncroft Tower has so much more to offer and it all begins at the front door.

French doors classic multi-glass paned, of course off the entry are an elegant introduction to the expansive and fully open living-dining room. The living room area has room for one and/or even two conversation areas while the dining area can easily handle settings for six or more comfortably. Flexibility is the bonus with this space, however. Either and/or both areas can be moved to create more open space when entertaining crowds or reset for more intimate gatherings.

The real perk, however, is not whats inside this room but what is outside. A wall of windows, i.e., glass sliders leads to a wonderful 35-foot long private patio overlooking the pool surrounded by Ferncrofts beautiful manicured grounds. Magnificent sunset views are another plus.

A substantial amount of cabinetry (with under-mount lighting) is one highlight of the eat-in kitchen. A built-in counter is a multi-purpose space. In addition to providing extra prep space, this also doubles as a server for the adjacent dining room if thats where you choose to place it or as a buffet area for more casual events. That three can use this as a coffee/breakfast/lunch bar is very handy.

For added convenience, laundry facilities, a stackable washer/dryer unit, are nearby, too.

Wait till you see

The bedrooms in this home are equally special with thoughtful amenities not to mention size, as in big.

The master suite, for example, which is extraordinarily large, is really a two-fer space. The reason is that the sleeping chamber is divided into two sections: one comfortably handles a king-size bed; the other is an office/den or sitting area. A partition open at the top with a half-moon window creates two private areas.

Other amenities are also impressive. Consider closet space. Essentially a room, the walk-in closet is fully customized with open shelving, cubbies and specialized hanging spaces, but should more storage room be required and/or wanted, not to worry. Two additional closets are here, too.

The en suite bathroom has its own share of perks including a two-sink vanity with a tub/shower ensemble with a tile surround. Marble floor tile is an elegant touch.

Did I mention that the master suite also has access to the patio?

Perhaps the best part about the cleverly designed master suite is how it affects the second bedroom. While this large room can easily do double duty as guest space and a home office, using it strictly for guests is one option. However, transforming it into a family room is another. Oh, this room also has access to the patio.

One other detail. Although the unit is fully carpeted throughout, odds are that gorgeous parquet flooring is underneath it all.

Some extras

Location in the building, that is, comes with a few more perks. Storage facilities are right across the hall and direct access to the garage and assigned parking for two cars is only a few steps further. The pool is close by, too a fact that will most appreciated when New England days are once again longer and warmer.

While were on the subject of location, keep in mind that the physical location of Ferncroft Tower is a plus, period. The complex has easy access to Route 128 and a plethora of shopping options be it mall, boutiques and grocery stores.

Of course all the amenities available at Ferncroft Tower including a function room with a full kitchen, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a heated outdoor pool are a package deal with this home. Just so you know, the condo fee is all inclusive, too were talking electric, gas, water, and yes, air conditioning.
