The Way We Live Now: 11 Marlene Court

By Robin Jovanovich

Just when you thought no more houses were coming on the market this summer, a modern Colonial magically appeared on a cul-de-sac near Mead Pond today.

For a family that’s bursting at the seams of their first house and wants a house with an easy and open floor plan that they can just move right into, 11 Marlene Court is the ticket.

And it’s got 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and a large and flexible bonus room on the second floor, perfect for sleepover parties or several bunk beds, or an enviable home office or workout space.

Within a comfortable 4,600 square-feet, are five bedrooms and baths, a living room that flows into the family room, creating lots of lounging and gathering space, and a well-equipped family kitchen.

The built-in barbecue on the patio is a gathering place and there is plenty of space for recreation nearby.

The location is hard to beat because it’s a quiet neighborhood — until all the kids start playing hockey on the street! — and offers walk-to-town convenience.

Ellen Stern of Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s has the listing, which is now live and kicking. The asking price is $2,395,000.
