If you dream of peaceful surroundings and lush green yard 550 Dorset Road is the place you could call home. There are so many perennials that keep the garden constantly in bloom throughout the year The previous owner was a master gardener, and REALLY thought through and skillfully planned the landscaping and plantings. Daffodils, iris, viburnum, dogwood, azaleas, peonies, rhododendron, tiger lilies, on and on… In summer, tiny hummingbirds come to the red feeder hung near the porch. The big veranda works as a whole extra room for three seasons of the year! Just to sip coffee or other beverages and read the paper there on a sunny mornings or afternoons, as birds call to one another is special. It's also a nice place to kick back and daydream on a warm afternoon. You may grill outdoors all year round, often with friends gathered on the porch with drinks. You chat while the chicken or fish grill, then dine “al fresco” by candle light. It is a very special home. So, is having an outdoor space is a must-have for you? At night, it's awesome to sit in the Adirondack chairs on the lawn and gaze up at the stars or put them around the firepit. You are far enough away from the city lights to allow a good views of the constellations. This is a comfortable feeling house because it has character. It's not flashy or fancy, and it has “good bones.” The basic systems have been well cared for over the years. The dry basement provides great storage for all sorts of things. The back-up generator provides peace of mind should power go out – which it rarely has. It has wonderful architectural details as well: like the solid wood doors, high ceilings, the built-in banquette in the kitchen, recessed shelves in the passageway, the extra staircase, the rustic fireplace, and the big bay window in the dining room. There is great light no matter the time of day. Morning sun streams in the kitchen and library windows that face east. Afternoons the front of the house gets plenty of light. It's a great house for plants, including the solarium off the living room. The skylight in the 3rd BR makes that space cheery and bright – a nice home office 550 Dorset is centrally located close to train airport and local highways. This home is a lifestyle not just a place to live.
