Description

Although Lucy Honeychurch's securing "a room with a view" may be the event that launches E.M. Forster's novel of that same name, it's the larger theme of Lucy learning to trust & follow her own heart that prevails. So too here on Simms Road: you'll notice as you move from room to room in this bright, contemporary home just how beautiful the views are -- not the grandiose views of rivers or mountains, but the more intimate kind. Take the front facing office, for example, or the main vaulted living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows & fireplace, all backdropped by large oaks & evergreens. Or the commodious chef's kitchen, or that first BR down the hall: sure, the rooms are nice, but it's the sparkling pool & the intimate patio areas, situated "just so" in the private back yard, that draw the eye. And the owner's suite. True, there's a gorgeously remodeled bathroom, large double closets, skylight and more, but it's the view that makes you look: sun-dappled side lawn, framed by the woods beyond, bringing the outside in, again. So come pay a visit. And perhaps you'll discover, like Lucy, that it's not just rooms and views that await you here, but the next chapter of your own life.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "very college oriented town, lots of farmers markets and breweries! safe and quiet mostly year round, students can cause an increase in music heard in the evenings but OU does not get out of control like it used to years ago. plenty of nature and wildlife around as well, you’ll be surprised at just how often you get to see deer in your own backyard!
