DebbieLaPlaca| Correspondent

NORTHBORO This brick-front French Colonial in desirable Woodstone Estates is not your traditional box, and the location offers the best of both worlds.

The 4,200-square-foot, 12-room home at 18 Woodstone Road is on the market with Karen Scopetski of Coldwell Banker Realty Northborofor $824,900.

Scopetski says Woodstone Estates is an executive neighborhood with homes on 2- to 4-acre lots, so its private, spacious and spread-out.

We love the setting, homeowner Patty Border said of her four-bed, four-bath home. This property is lovely on almost 4 acres. We love our yard; its private, but its in a neighborhood so its the best of both worlds.

Inside, the home features lots of French doors, custom molding, including shadowbox trim, large windows, six fireplaces, hardwood flooring in most roomsand terra-cotta tiling in the kitchen area.

Or as Scopetski put it, Its a unique Colonial; its not your traditional box.

The two-story foyer with open staircase has a marble floor with custom inlay. Off the entranceway are a home office with fireplace and French doors for quiet, and a formal living room with fireplace.

The formal dining room shares open space with the living room and gives access to a three-season sunroom.

A butlers pantry alcove leads to the informal dining area in the kitchen, which has a striking terracotta tile floor and a wall of glass with views of the tree-lined backyard.

The kitchen is large and has an abundance of countertops and glass-faced cabinetry.

The family room has a cathedral ceiling with skylights and open beams, and a stone surround fireplace.

A second staircase off the family room leads to a sky-lit bonus room over the garage that would be suitable for a media room or a fourth bedroom.

Upstairs holds the master bedroom with large bathroom, and two other bedrooms, all with fireplaces.

The walkout basement has two finished rooms and a full bath.

This property is about 20 minutes from downtown Worcester and offers quick access to Route 290 for those who commute east.
