House of the Week: Magnificent Manlius transitional is a great home for raising a family – syracuse.com

MANLIUS, N.Y. Sometimes it is the little things that make a house a home.

Take Tas Fazili, owner of the magnificent Walker custom built home at 4036 Deer Crossing Run in the Windsbury Hills subdivision of Manlius. When he was asked what his favorite feature or room of the home was, he had many to choose from.

He could have mentioned the wooded two-acre lot, the dramatic two-story foyer, the stunning great room or the beautiful master suite.

Instead, he chose a small dining area off the kitchen, near the awesome brick double-sided woodburning fireplace. It is where his family spent their time together, his children working at their homework at the small table and window seat there.

It is just a very cozy spot, with the fireplace and the views of the yard, Fazili said. It is a great home to raise a family.

Fazili and his family moved into the 2001 transitional home about nine years ago. Raising a family there was one of the homes biggest draws.

It was in a friendly neighborhood, with a big yard and was part of the Fayetteville-Manlius school district.

The house was loaded with windows and was always bright and very airy.

A professionally finished lower level was great for the childrens grandfather when he visited and for a very large casual family room.

The gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets providing an abundance of storage, a butlers pantry and even more storage in the lower level makes the home perfect for a growing family.

In the relatively short amount of time that Fazili and his family have lived there, he has made several improvements and renovations.

The beautiful hardwood floors have been exposed and much of the interior paintwork has been updated.

Windows were added in a back room to create a three-season room with views of the back woods and the impressive swimming pool and landscaping Fazili had installed a few years ago.

In the master bathroom, the bathtub was removed in lieu of a giant shower unit and three closets.

I think it all worked well, he said.

After almost nine years in Manlius, Fazili is moving out-of-state because of a work opportunity.

He says that any potential buyer of the home is getting a beautiful, big house in a very peaceful neighborhood.
