This three-bedroom Colonial in the Harvard Commons development of suburban-style single-family homes in Dorchester includes a duplex loft-style master bedroom suite and a full array of rooftop solar panels that cover all electricity costs.
This customized home, built in 2007, is one of 16 single-family homes out of 24 in the first phase of Hub-based Cruz Development’s subdivision off Harvard Street on part of the site of the former Mattapan State Hospital, where there will eventually be 54 houses. There are currently two just-completed smaller single-family homes available for about $485,000.
The 23 Snowden Way home is a resale of one of the development’s large “Fairway” models, owned by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and his family who are relocating to the West Coast. The current owner added a spiral staircase and converted the home’s attic into a loft-style master bedroom in 2007. Last year, a roof array of solar panels was added to the south-facing roof, which produces enough electricity for the entire home and then some.
The EnergyStar-rated home, which has large front and back porches, a large open living/dining area, a loft-style master bedroom, an attached two-car garage and finished basement is on the market for $525,000.
The exterior of 23 Snowden Way is olive Hardiplank with white trim with a pedimented top and six-over-six double-glaze windows. There’s a small grass and bush-landscaped front yard leading up to a covered, columned front porch with Trex-like all-weather decking.
The front door opens into an oak-floored foyer with a hallway down to a half bath with ceramic tile floors and a pedestal sink.
To the left is a large open living/dining space with six windows, crown molding and sliding-glass French doors leading out to a large back porch. The recessed-lit living area features a gas fireplace and the dining area has a chandelier.
To the right is the home’s gray-slate floor recessed-lit kitchen with 26 cherry-stained maple cabinets, Uba Tuba granite counters and separate island with pendant lighting overhead. Amana stainless-steel appliances include a double-door refrigerator, a built-in microwave and gas oven, a dishwasher and four-burner gas cooktop. There’s also a double-doored pantry closet here and direct access to the two-car attached garage.
French doors from the kitchen lead to a study with chair-rail wainscoting and two windows.
Stairs lead up to a landing, off which are the home’s three bedrooms.
The carpeted duplex master-bedroom suite features a sitting area with a vaulted ceiling and fan, two walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom. A spiral staircase leads up to a loft-style bedroom carved out of the former attic with vaulted ceilings, a piano window and two skylights. The en-suite master bathroom has two windows, and beige ceramic tile floors and walls for a whirlpool tub and shower. A cherry-stained maple vanity has a green-granite countertop.
There are two other decent-sized carpeted bedrooms on this floor served by a second full bathroom with green ceramic tile floors, a ceramic-tile walled tub and shower and a green-granite-topped vanity.
The current owner finished the home’s full basement in 2007 with a hardwood-floored family room, a playroom and a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer and a sink. There’s also a full bathroom here with ceramic tile floors, a one-piece Fiberglas walk-in shower and a granite-topped vanity. There’s a utility room that holds one of the house’s two gas-fired heating and central air-conditioning systems.
The home has a fenced-in grass backyard, on the small side for a suburban-like home. But the roof has a fully paid for solar panel system installed last year that’s guaranteed for 20 years and has transferable energy credits. The panels cover the entire cost of electricity for the home.
