About this home

Designed and constructed by the acclaimed design team of Fred Herring (Architect) and Ray Worley (Engineer), 901 Laurelwood Drive is that rare opportunity to own a truly unique contemporary home nestled on the edge of acres of spectacular open space. Situated at the end of a highly romanticized and sought after street, the Laurelwood home has been thoughtfully refreshed, upgraded and is beautifully presented. Boasting 3,180 square feet of living space (per county records), a massive 32,557 square foot land parcel (per public records), mesmerizing views, multiple sun decks, unheard of storage space and an unfinished detached studio - this is truly one home you will not want to miss! For those who might be "stairs averse", the interior elevator serves each level - making it a breeze to age gracefully in place. Private, serene and brilliantly located at the edge of a spectacular open space forest - unique does not adequately describe the Laurelwood home. Best yet, it is within minutes of hiking trails, Sugar Loaf Park, Hillsdale Mall, Laurelwood Shopping Center, multiple transportation options and so much more! If contemporary architecture, privacy, remarkable scenery, amazing wildlife and convenience are your vibe - we welcome your visit to 901 Laurelwood Drive...

Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1979, has been 'thoughtfully refreshed, upgraded and is beautifully presented' according to the description. While the living areas appear clean, freshly painted, and well-maintained with good flooring, the kitchen features original-style wood cabinets and dated white tile countertops and backsplash. Although some appliances are stainless steel and appear newer, the overall kitchen aesthetic is significantly outdated. No bathroom images were provided for assessment. The property is functional and move-in ready, but the kitchen's condition and style indicate it would require substantial updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'fair' category for a property of its age with cosmetic updates but no major recent renovations in key areas like the kitchen.

Many Open Houses Held: The property is on market for 0 days and has already held 11 open houses.
Age of Property: Built in 1979, while refreshed and upgraded, the age of the property may imply older underlying systems that could require future maintenance or updates.
Niche Architectural Style: The contemporary architecture, while unique, may appeal to a more specific buyer demographic, potentially narrowing the market compared to more traditional styles.
