17009 Cotter PL

If you think you can't have it all in a dream home, you haven't seen 17009 Cotter Place. This is the one that will check every box. Need to be near great public schools? Check! How about four bedrooms instead of three? Check! Want both a pool and a grassy yard area? Check again! How about a cul-de-sac street, mature trees for privacy, single story ranch, attached two-car garage, spacious kitchen with plenty of cabinets, hardwood floors, formal dining area and a kitchen nook, custom plantation shutters, vaulted ceilings in the primary bedroom, endless character and charm on almost half an acre? This one delivers all of that, and has the benefits of being designed by noted architect Reinhard Lesser of Victor Gruen & Associates -- who were partners with Frank Gehry -- and lovingly cared for by the original owners and their children for more than six decades. Now it's ready for new owners who will surely understand how special this home is when they enter it. There is warmth, love and history here. There is also a room conversion, where a wall was removed between two adjoining bedrooms, creating an extra-large primary suite with sitting room. It can easily be converted back to the original floor plan, restoring the four-bedroom footprint the home had previously (plans and estimates available). The outdoor space is impressive and vast, with an area for seating under a canopy, a pool, in-ground spa, deck for lounging on chaises and grassy side yard, all framed by tall trees and hedges that offer maximum privacy. The grounds, along with the home, are beautiful and well-maintained, ready for new stewards to continue the legacy of love at Cotter Place.
