Listing broker remarks

How do you describe a home that is honestly one of the most adorable homes you’ve ever been in? Welcome to 16 Oakland Ave, a picture-perfect farmhouse tucked into the heart of historic Hanover Four Corners, where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an incredible location come together in one very special home. Beautiful wood floors, gorgeous moldings, and original charm run throughout this impeccably maintained home, while modern updates make it completely comfortable for today. The updated kitchen features upgraded cabinetry and stainless appliances and opens into the home's inviting living spaces. BUT, the room you’ll fall in love with is at the back of the house. An amazing vaulted family room wrapped in windows overlooks the woods and conservation land beyond, creating the feeling of living in your own private treehouse. Step outside to the sweetest covered porch, the perfect spot for morning coffee or dinner with friends. Set on .82 acres with a fenced yard, patio, and beautiful outdoor space, the property offers a surprising sense of privacy while still being connected to one of Hanover’s most vibrant neighborhoods, and the location may be just as special as the house. Historic Four Corners has become the go-to spot in Hanover for those looking for walkability and convenience. Stroll from home to coffee, restaurants, shopping, the spa and local favorites, while a beautiful new-construction neighborhood sits just beyond and conservation land creates a peaceful backdrop behind you. Lovingly and impeccably maintained by its current owner, 16 Oakland Ave is warm, charming and completely unforgettable. This isn't just a house you come to see it’s one you walk into and immediately want to be home.— The Firm
