12 KIRKWOOD DRIVE, MOUNT LAUREL, NJ 08054

On an extra-wide corner lot, buffered by trees and surrounded by mature landscaping, 12 Kirkwood just may be the one you've waited for. Beyond the plentiful curb appeal, you're met with a fabulous first impression - a towering foyer, illuminated by natural light, and feeling like a breath of fresh air. A beautiful angular staircase serves as a focal point, and views of the downstairs surround the entry. To the left, a parlor-style formal living room offers space for special gatherings at the front of the home. An attached formal dining room is spacious and can accommodate even an oversized dining set. Notice the bay window bump out, catching natural light and giving the impression of even more space. Next you'll find the kitchen - truly the heart of the home and a delightful space to cook. Refreshed cabinets, an accent island, upgraded countertops and other thoughtful accents combine for a warm and inviting feel. Nice sized pantry gives you space to put everything away.  A large eat-in area has room enough for everyone, while offering near-panorama views of the back yard via a bank of bay windows. Separated only by a half wall, the space continues to flow into a family room. Enjoy cosy times around the woodburning fireplace while still being part of the action in the kitchen. Maximum visibility between the three spaces is sure to delight. Also on this level - a private, quiet office all the way at the front, separated from other living spaces. Enjoy the ability to work peacefully without leaving home! Could be considered a 5th bedroom. Also on this level - a laundry room that connects the home with the 2 car garage, and a powder room. Head upstairs - a bright & airy landing gives you space to breathe. The primary suite has it ALL. Ample bedroom space flows into a "bonus" area - could be used as a sitting room, vanity nook, dressing room or nursery. Notice the full-entry (walk in) closet! And an upgraded en suite bathroom features a huge soaking tub with beautiful stone work, connecting to a walk-in shower complete with bench seat. Across the way, 3 additional bedrooms all have great closet space and lots of light. A shared main hall bath is nice and neutral, with dual vanity. On to the basement! This finished space naturally divvies itself up into specific areas, but can be thought of as highly usable additional square footage. Enjoy lots of bonus space for gaming, recreation, hobbies & crafts. PLUS, a large unfinished portion offers plenty of seasonal storage! The back yard has a communal, park-like feel. Current owners have enjoyed a tradition of football games at holidays, and serene views all year long. Take in the big sky view from the comfort of the deck, or enjoy the slate patio on the lowest level for firepits and fun. Your own slide of heaven.... the possibilities are endless!  Notice the basketball half court perfectly situated at the back corner of the home - does not impede on back yard views or driveway!  Separation from the road by way of a mature berm and over 60 ft of side yard make this lot feel just like any interior parcel.  NEW ROOF. Location cannot be beat, mere minutes from 295 and NJTPK, 70, 73, 38, other major roads. Far enough away from the hustle & bustle but close to major shopping, dining and recreational destinations, golf, swim, farms, etc. Quick trip to Whole Foods, Target, Starbucks, and other faves. Excellent public schools! And a well-planned community that feels elegant & special every time you drive in. With recent sales for substantially more, this opportunity will not last.
