Welcome to 8935 Wandering Willow — a substantial brick home in Long Meadow Farms that reads as established and well-maintained from the first look. The two-story brick facade, mature tree, and wide concrete driveway set the tone, while the attached three-car tandem garage keeps the elevation clean and the parking options generous.
The covered section of the courtyard — roofed, brick-walled, and finished with a ceiling fan — creates a shaded outdoor room that functions independently from the open-air dining area beyond. An arched opening at the far end frames the transition to the open courtyard, keeping the space from feeling closed off despite the coverage overhead.
This kitchen is built to work — a large island with granite countertop and seating for four anchors the center, with dark cabinetry wrapping the walls, a white decorative range hood crowning the cooking wall, and three lantern pendant lights hanging above the island. Travertine subway tile covers the full backsplash, the elevated appliance suite handles serious cooking volume, and the breakfast nook sits visible beyond — it's a kitchen that earns its footprint.
From the opposite angle, the dining room's connection to the foyer and staircase becomes clear — the arched opening on the right leads directly to the entry hall, and the French doors at the far end frame a view of the courtyard beyond. The wainscoting detail along the right wall is a layer of traditional millwork that runs through from the foyer, reinforcing the home's consistent finish level on the main floor.
The fireplace wall anchors the family room with a white-painted mantel surrounding the gas log fireplace, flanked on both sides by built-in shelving with lower cabinetry. The windows on the adjacent wall bring in backyard views and natural light, keeping the space from feeling closed despite the rich wood tones throughout.
The two-story entry foyer opens the home with scale — a chandelier drops from the upper level, large-format tile floors extend underfoot, and arched openings ahead frame a clear view into the main living areas. French doors on the left wall connect directly to the enclosed front courtyard, keeping the indoor-outdoor relationship immediate from the moment you walk in.
The cooking wall centers on a Thermador 6-burner gas range beneath the white painted hood, with dark cherry cabinetry extending on both sides and travertine tile wrapping the full backsplash behind it. Looking through the kitchen, the breakfast nook and the backyard beyond are visible — the cook has a clear sightline to both ends of the space.
On the right side of the kitchen, a single wall oven and a built-in microwave are stacked in dedicated dark cabinetry — a configuration that gives ample cooking capacity without crowding the island or the range. The full appliance suite is arranged so that multiple people can work in the kitchen simultaneously without crossing paths.
The island's apron-front farmhouse sink is positioned so the cook looks directly through to the family room on one side and the breakfast nook on the other — no choosing between keeping an eye on the meal and staying connected to the room. The matching hardware carries across the island cabinetry, tying the white island into the kitchen's overall finish palette.
The appliance zone runs the left perimeter of the kitchen — a Thermador column refrigerator anchors the corner, the 6-burner gas cooktop sits below the hood, and glass-front upper cabinets with interior lighting flank both sides. Under-cabinet lighting illuminates the granite prep surface, and the travertine backsplash ties the entire perimeter wall together.
The breakfast nook sits directly off the kitchen with three windows, a ceiling fan, and tile floors that carry from the kitchen — ideal for morning coffee, a homework station, or an overflow dining area when the island fills up.
From the breakfast nook, the kitchen island is in the foreground and the view reaches through the arched opening all the way into the family room, with the foyer staircase visible at the far end — the full depth of the main level in a single sightline. The exterior door on the left wall provides direct access to the covered rear patio, keeping the indoor-outdoor flow close to the kitchen.
The butler's pantry boasts dark wood cabinetry, a granite countertop, travertine subway tile backsplash, and a built-in diamond lattice wine rack in the upper cabinet. An under-counter beverage refrigerator keeps drinks cold and at hand.
The walk-in pantry offers floor-to-ceiling built-in white shelving on two walls — enough depth and volume to handle serious dry storage, small appliances, and the overflow that never quite fits in standard cabinetry.
From a single standpoint in the family room, the foyer is visible through the arched opening on the left, the dining room sits at center, and the kitchen stretches to the right — an open plan that genuinely lives as one connected space. It's the view that makes the layout of this home immediately legible.
The family room opens to the kitchen through an arched pass-through on the right and to the dining room through a cased arched opening on the left — a layout where the cook is never separated from the rest of the household. Dark hardwood floors run continuously through all three spaces, and the windows along the right wall pull in natural light throughout the day.
Stepping back in the family room, the built-ins and fireplace anchor one end while the arched opening to the foyer and staircase is visible on the right — a spatial connection that keeps the first floor reading as one cohesive level rather than a series of rooms strung together. The drum pendant marks the center of the room and gives the ceiling a purposeful finish.
Standing at the foyer threshold, the home's layout reveals itself all at once — large-format tile transitions to dark hardwood, the dining room opens on the left, the family room extends to the right, and the kitchen is visible through the arched opening beyond. It's a floor plan where every main-level space is connected and visible, not tucked away behind closed doors.
The formal dining room sits at the intersection of the front courtyard and the kitchen — French doors on the left wall open directly to the outdoor space, while the arched opening on the right flows into the kitchen and breakfast nook. A tray ceiling with crown molding, dark hardwood floors, and a rectangular pendant lantern give the room a finished quality that holds its own from everyday dinners to formal gatherings.
From the dining room, this angle captures the home's main-level crossroads — the family room fireplace and built-ins are visible on the left, the arched foyer hall opens at center with the pendant light beyond, and the staircase rises on the right. Dark hardwood gives way to tile at the foyer threshold, marking the transition between the living and entry zones.
The first-floor primary bedroom is proportioned to live large — a tray ceiling with crown molding, carpet, and a wall of tall plantation-shuttered windows along the exterior wall that pull in natural light and frame a view of the backyard. Clerestory windows on the opposite wall add a second source of natural light without giving up wall space.
The primary bedroom's double doors occupy the far wall, with the primary bath accessible through the arched opening just beyond — giving the suite a logical sequence where closet and bath flow naturally together. The tray ceiling carries the same crown detail found throughout the main floor.
The primary bath opens with a double vanity along the right wall — dark cabinetry, light granite countertop, and antique brass fixtures beneath a wide mirror and multi-bulb light bar. On the opposite side, a drop-in soaking tub sits in a raised dark espresso platform with a cream marble deck, positioned beneath a painted arched niche that gives the tub wall a clear architectural focal point. Large-format cream tile carries across the full floor.
Looking from the shower end of the bath, both vanity sections run along the left wall, the soaking tub occupies the right, and the arched opening at the far end connects directly back to the primary bedroom. The bath is large enough that it never feels crowded even with all of these elements sharing one space — and the scale of the bath's footprint bears that out.
The walk-in shower is tiled floor-to-ceiling in large-format gray tile with a mosaic floor, and fitted with a rain showerhead and hand-held fixture on a slide bar. Two built-in niches at shoulder height keep storage built in, and a glass block window at the end wall brings in natural light without sacrificing privacy.
The soaking tub and walk-in shower sit adjacent to each other — the tub in its raised platform niche, and the open walk-in shower entry directly to the left, separated by a partial wall rather than a glass enclosure. Two closet doors at the back of the bath keep the suite organized, with closet access available from within the bath itself.
The primary walk-in closet features built-in rod-and-shelf systems running both long walls — double-hang sections for shorter pieces, single-hang with shelving above for longer items — and carpet underfoot. It's a functional closet with a finish level that makes it feel like a room rather than a storage afterthought.
A vaulted ceiling and a pair of arched windows with plantation shutters give the first-floor guest bedroom more natural light and character than a standard secondary room. The en-suite bath connects directly from within, making it a fully independent suite that works just as well as a private first-floor bedroom for everyday use.
The en-suite bath is finished with dark espresso cabinetry, a granite countertop, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures throughout. A tub-and-shower combination with from deck to ceiling keeps the finish consistent and practical.
The first-floor study has the finish level of a principal room — tray ceiling with crown molding, a brass chandelier, and carpet — whether it functions as a home office or flex space. It sits just off the foyer, separated enough from the main living areas for quiet without being removed from the rest of the home.
From inside the study, the open dark-stained door frames a direct sightline back through the foyer to the French doors leading to the front courtyard — a visual connection that ties this room into the home's entry sequence rather than leaving it as a dead-end space.
The powder bath is compact and clean — a pedestal sink with brushed faucet, a decoratively framed mirror, and tile floors that give the space a finished look without overcomplicating it.
The first-floor utility room includes dark upper cabinetry with a granite countertop, a wall-mounted hanging rod above the washer and dryer, and tile floors — ideal for laundry, overflow storage, or keeping daily household clutter out of the main living areas.
The upstairs game room has a tray ceiling crossed by dark espresso wood beams, dark horizontal shiplap wainscoting, and wall sconces providing ambient light above the wainscoting line — a room designed with intention. The triple-drum pendant anchors the center, and the windows on the far wall look out to the backyard tree line.
The arched opening at one end of the game room connects directly to the upstairs landing above the staircase, keeping the second floor open and navigable rather than isolated behind hallway doors. The wainscoting and beam detail reads consistently from this angle, giving the room a finished quality that carries across all four walls.
The fourth upstairs bedroom has carpet, a large window with outdoor views, and a closet along the entry wall — a clean, uncomplicated room in a home with enough total square footage that no space ever has to do double duty.
The third upstairs bedroom has vaulted ceilings & ceiling fan, while a large window floods the room in natural light.
The upstairs secondary bath serves both upstairs bedrooms with a dark espresso double vanity, granite countertop, and dual undermount sinks. Two plantation-shuttered windows bring in natural light, and the tub-and-shower combination on the left is tiled in a wood-look vertical plank format from deck to ceiling.
The upstairs media room delivers hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, and additional closet storage space — a finished room off the game room that works as a media setup, a quiet home office, or an additional flex space for whoever needs it.
The enclosed front courtyard is one of this home's most distinctive features — a brick-walled private outdoor room with a concrete slab floor, French doors opening directly into the home's interior, and enough depth to accommodate dedicated dining and lounge zones within the same space. It's fully private outdoor living that most homes at this price point simply don't have.
From the dining end of the courtyard, the French doors to the interior are just steps away — keeping the indoor-outdoor transition effortless whether you're hosting a dinner or stepping outside with a cup of coffee. The covered lounge section is visible at the far end, giving the courtyard a clear sense of depth and two distinct zones within the same walled space.
The covered rear patio runs the full width of the home's back elevation, with brick columns supporting and a ceiling fan keeping the space comfortable in warm months. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen is built into the right end — a built-in gas grill, stainless steel components, and a stone-surround counter that stays out of the elements year-round — ideal for grilling, entertaining, or a long weekend afternoon outside.
From this angle, the covered patio reads as a proper outdoor room — brick columns, two ceiling fans, and a solid roof structure that connects to the home's interior through large windows and French doors running across the full rear elevation. The concrete slab continues past the covered section into an open-air area, giving the outdoor space both shade and sun options within the same footprint.
A brick walkway leads from the driveway through manicured foundation plantings to the arched covered entry, where double dark-stained doors with glass panels mark the transition into the home.
Mature trees frame the front walk and filter the light across the facade, giving the home a settled, established presence at street level.
The backyard is larger than it photographs — a deep, flat lawn extends from the covered patio to the perimeter fence, with mature trees along the rear and side property lines providing natural privacy screening. The home's full rear elevation is visible in the background, showing the scale of the covered patio.
The rear of the property adds additional features beyond the patio — rooftop solar panels reduce utility costs and a play structure occupies the center yard. The full perimeter fence and mature tree line at the rear give the yard a self-contained quality that makes it feel private and complete.
