Home of the Week: 31 Rice Road

This newer Wayland colonial was designed to effortlessly blend the multiple layers of accommodations needed for a growing family and their evolving lifestyles.

Luxury and comfort. For many prospective homebuyers these two descriptions can mean very different things. With this spectacular 4-year-young colonial on Rice Road, they translate to a lifestyle where families can experience warm, inviting accommodations and entertaining can be both eventful and lavish. This home is a great example that cozy does not necessarily signify small and plush does not mean stuffy.

Every space within this magnificent 4,500 square foot home was given generous dimensions to properly create a grand preliminary canvas for personal embellishments, beginning with its introduction of the formal two-story front foyer. A formal living room and dining area provide formal settings for entertaining while the 18 x 20 square foot fireplaced family room offers a comfortable space for relaxed events, especially during warmer months where activities can easily be bought outside through a slider leading to the rear deck. The sprawling 24 x 28 square foot eat-in kitchen will impress both veteran and novice cooks with its premier level of culinary accessories that includes an abundance of granite surfaces, upgraded cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A home office on this level provides valuable bonus space and can be adapted to accommodate a variety of uses.

The second floor hosts a luxurious 18 x 18 square foot fireplaced master suite with a deluxe full bath, a spacious guest or in-law suite, three bedrooms and a laundry area. The large walk-out lower level adds an additional 1,300 square feet of living space to the listed 4,500 dimensions and opens into the lush backyard with layers of stone walls, a pond and views of protected neighboring conservation land.
