Hot Property: This $2M Westfield home features views of Pete Dye-designed golf course
The two-story library with a spiral staircase in this property on Whistling Lane is every book worm's dream.
But there's also room to entertain, views of the 16th hole on a Pete Dye-designed golf course at the Bridgewater Club and custom-made rooms for the kids.
The Westfield home, in the Bridgewater Club, was built in 2006, and owners Kevin and Andrea Welch have put it on the market for $2 million.
The couple have three children, two boys and a girl, and each has a room that is not just to sleep but also to spend time doing what they enjoy.
Andrea Welch said her favorite room in the house is a retreat space near the master bedroom on the main floor.
"It's peaceful, it's bright and I can just go in there and relax with coffee and a book," she said.
Kevin Welch said although his family is now looking for a place away from the city and with more land, his favorite spot of this home is his office and library.
"That office is not away in a corner. It is right up front, so if someone comes to the door, I am right there," Welch said. "It has a fireplace, and the woodcarvings are beautiful."
And through a small door near the boys' room upstairs is a custom-made boys' "cave," where the kids can play video games and host sleepovers, Welch said.
The custom-built home also has woodwork finishes throughout, six fireplaces, high ceilings and large windows that allow for plenty of natural light, a gourmet kitchen and hearth room designed to accommodate large gatherings.
The lower-level walk-out finished basement features high ceilings, a theater, wine cellar, billiards room, recreation room, wet bar and two guest suites with a full bath.
The home also features two storage rooms, two patio areas — one on the main level and one on the lower level — and a grilling area.
"We have the country club, the golf course and pond in the backyard, we feel safe because it's a gated street," Kevin Welch said. "I also love that it's an all-brick home. This is a home that you'd imagine in the Midwest."
