I have a client who tasked me to sell their masterfully renovated expanded Ranch at 850 Old Road to Nine Acre Corner (ORNAC) in Concord. It is certainly single level living at its finest! People always ask why a homeowner is selling their home and I should give the same answer every time. I frequently will say “stages” and “phases.” When describing aspects of the moon or a planet, phases relate to the amount of illumination, especially the new moon, the first quarter, the full moon and the last quarter. In my life, I would have to really think about which stage and phase of my life has been the most illuminating. I like to think it is the current one or the next one. Each moment or phase of our lives can shine brightly, or we can certainly find beauty in the amount of illumination it offered us. I am just now learning that the beauty is in the journey. In my work, I have the pleasure of observing different people from different backgrounds on their very personal journeys. Our homes are the structures that serve as the backdrop of our phases.
I can vividly picture the rental apartment my dad, brother and I lived in when we moved to America. I can see the small row house we moved into when my father moved us into my future stepmother’s home. Six of us squeezed into the smallest house imaginable. I can picture the multi-level we moved into next which felt like a palace. I recall the next home we moved to, an expanded Ranch on a magnificent lot. As my parents moved up the financial ladder, I enjoyed the new construction home where we lived when I attended high school. We moved a lot. My moves as an adult have been just as numerous. One could say that each home served as a backdrop for that phase of my life.
850 ORNAC is an amazing place to call home and would serve as a spectacular backdrop for building memories. I also believe it can serve the next owners through multiple phases of their life. It has a first floor primary suite with dramatic vaulted ceilings and two additional bedrooms. This is no starter home. It offers 2,642 s.f. on the first floor! Total square footage is 4,307 s.f. when consideriing the finished lower level. It also offers a 3 car garage which is virtually unheard of for a single-level home.
The next easily admired aspect is the spectacular care and stewardship present throughout. The kitchen renovation is just beautiful and absolutely tasteful. Regarding the overall move-in condition, the attic has been spray foamed and is fully insulated. The roof is seven years old. In the last few years, updates have been completed on the electric panel, water tank, appliances, kitchen, primary bath, and screened room. The well-designed floor plan includes both formal and informal rooms to meet everyone’s needs and allow for creative furniture placement depending on how the next owner wants to use each space. Visit our website to see the photos as you will surely be impressed with every aspect of this home. The property offers a fenced backyard and exceptional privacy. This Concord location affords easy access to the amazing conservation parcel and trails across the street at Mattison Field. Cherished Verrill Farm is a short distance away to meet many of your shopping needs. This quiet location offers easy commuting access to major routes.
This home requires a serious look if it is in your price range. It is not just a drive-by. Words and images fail to capture the feeling one gets when walking through this home. I found this one refreshing and original and I am sure you will feel the same if you take a look.
