Berkley Place

We’re using Tudor Cottage in the broadest sense of the term because, at nearly five thousand two hundred square feet, this Berkley Place abode at 2211 Windsor Place is well over twice the size of the neighborhood average.

Gone are the days when Berkley Place was a below-the-radar enclave where you could find a bargain. This particular property has enjoyed a 70 percent price appreciation since it was last listed 10 years ago. On the bright side, the per-square-foot price is 20 percent below the average for Berkley Place.

The four bedroom three-and-one-half bath house has an easy flow between commodious rooms linked by coffee colored oak floors. There are fully five living areas by my count with a game room thrown into the bargain. Total room count is a whopping eighteen. Below is the shelf lined music room.
