Elegant young Colonial on cul-de-sac in Sudbury

“Casual elegance” is the phrase listing broker Anne Hollows uses to describe the gracious Colonial at 6 Spruce Lane, a home that manages to combine splendid architectural detail with a cozy family feel.

The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home includes custom molding and millwork, hardwood floors, front and back stairs, high ceilings and oversize windows that fill this corner-lot home with natural light.

Marketed at $1,089,000 by Hollows of William Raveis Real Estate, the house offers 4,044 square feet of living space on a 1-acre lot.

The house is ready for immediate occupancy and is in immaculate condition.

“The thing that strikes you about this house is its youth,” said Hollows. “Built in 2004, it’s on a beautiful cul-de-sac of similar homes, and you couldn’t be in a better location in Sudbury.”

The house is just a quarter of a mile from the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge, with its miles of biking and walking trails. The Haskell athletic fields, the Atkinson Pool, basketball courts and the town recreation center with programs including a summer camp, are less than a mile away and are accessible from a bike trail across Hudson Road.

A wide, covered front porch, complete with rocking chairs, gives a warm preview to the home. The elegant front door with a brass kickplate, side and transom windows, opens to a spacious foyer.

“What strikes you immediately when you first walk in is the millwork,” said Hollows. “I’ve been in real estate for a long time and I’ve never seen a double surround on a fireplace like the one in the family room, and also over the front door. The work is tasteful and beautiful, and much higher end than much of what is on the market now.”

The two-story foyer is anchored by a Palladian window.  The foyers has a stately feel with double crown moldings and wainscoting which continues along the turned staircase with its decorative balusters and bannister which ends in a graceful volute.

Gleaming hardwood floors are a feature throughout the house.

A French door opens off the foyer to a study with a custom built-in cabinet with trim in an arch and keystone pattern, a finish design that is also used over the Palladian window in the foyer. The 13-by-12 room has a double window and recessed lighting.

The foyer includes a closet and half bath.

The dramatic 23-by-16 family room has a cathedral ceiling and is flooded with light from two skylights, double sliding doors to a patio and wide, triple-height windows which flank the fireplace. The wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the room with its ornamental wood mantel and identical over-mantel. The home’s second graceful staircase is on one side of the room.

Ficarra Design Associates' licensed interior designer Pamela Novakovich has created an elegant yet comfortable classic interior with a well-traveled, collected look that incorporates treasures from around the world. Classic furnishings with foreign-inspired elements have been selected to serve as a backdrop for collected items.

Novakovich's color palette will consist of tan, cinnamon and navy blue with black accents and shadowing washes in the ceilings throughout the home that will highlight wall treatments that include a stone statement wall. A wood treatment on the ceiling in the secondary foyer will provide the first of several memory points in the design.

Novakovich has placed strong emphasis on textures and earth elements. The design's fabrics include several prints, including cheetah, a diamond, pressed leather and a French script pattern with passport stamp details set on top of a taupe linen background. Flooring throughout the home will be a stone tile.

A classically styled dining room off the secondary foyer will have a modern twist. The room will feature a classic crystal chandelier, a wood dining table with upholstered chairs, wall treatments and molding details. A long statement wall in the hallway leading to the great room will feature a three-dimensional stone application that will create an earthy, rustic texture. The great room will offer a large overstuffed sofa and other pieces that reflect the design's world traveler theme. Maple wood cabinetry in an off-white eggshell finish will contrast with black countertops. The Cipriani's master suite will have a clean-lined, New York boutique-style hotel feel achieved through the use of crisp white linens with contrasting piping and black accents.

The design includes a mix of materials and textures. Ficarra's color palette features soft whites, sophisticated grays, taupes, and Aegean blues with white trim. Flooring throughout the home will consist of porcelain tile with gray and taupe accents.

Ficarra has incorporated white and gray washes in the kitchen design. The clean look includes cabinetry with white Shaker-style doors and long polished chrome pulls, white granite countertops with gray accents, a backsplash with a horizontal glass tile mosaic that features stainless steel accents, and gray accent cabinetry at a desk area and in the butler's pantry. Soft Aegean and sea-glass blues will compliment off-whites and taupes to create an elegant, coastal feeling. Cabinetry in the bar area will be in a darker gray finish.

The powder room design offers a clean, contemporary look that features a suspended vanity cabinet with lighting underneath. The cabinet will have a slab front door finished with horizontal gray and taupe graining and long, stainless steel pulls that will play against a mitered edge countertop. Two guest baths will feature Pompeii quartz countertops and light styling on the cabinetry. Pompeii quartz countertops are repeated in the master bath.
