The Pinehills in Plymouth is an expansive real estate development that now counts 43 neighborhoods on 3,300 acres, including Seton Highlands, one of two 55-plus communities.
The detached homes in Seton Highlands are built in clusters of four, and 10 Aberdeen is on the left of the grouping. The white doors to the two-car attached garage are on the left side of the house, and in the middle, there is a welcoming farmer’s porch with room for a chair or two.
The entry opens into a foyer hosting a broad stairwell and, straight ahead, a hallway leading past a closet and directly into the heart of the first floor: an open layout encompassing the kitchen and dining and living areas. The flooring throughout the main rooms on this level is narrow planks of oak with a golden, glistening finish.
A chandelier over a six-person table marks the dining area, which features two double-hung windows with muntin-less bottoms that don’t detract from the woodsy view. A single door positioned between the dining area and kitchen opens to a mahogany deck that overlooks a greenscape that includes lawn and pine trees that serve as a privacy screen.
The kitchen features cherry cabinets, brown-and-black granite counters, two pantries, and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas stove. The sink sits underneath a bank of three windows with views of the backyard, and an island offers seating for three and storage. A windowed nook off the kitchen is set up as a den with a television and two overstuffed chairs with hassocks. A half bath off the kitchen offers a porcelain pedestal sink and hardwood flooring.
In the living room, found at the other end of the space, the ceiling rises to 16 feet and sports a ceiling fan. A bump-out with five windows and recessed lights and a second set of tall windows overlooks the rear and side yards. On the opposite wall is a gas fireplace framed with black marble and with a white mantel. Built-in bookshelves and narrow rectangular windows flank it.
Back in the dining area, there is a door to the lower level and one that opens into a short hallway. Here one finds a laundry closet with full-sized appliances, the second pantry, the door to the garage, and the door to a first-floor master suite with thick carpet.
The bedroom is 225 square feet and has three windows in one corner. The walk-in closet boasts a window and built-in cabinetry. The master bath, recently renovated, features a whirlpool bath, a separate multihead shower with a frameless glass door, a water closet, and a double vanity topped with a counter of man-made material. The floor and the shower surround are ceramic tile.
An oak-tread staircase leads to a carpeted second floor comprising a loft with a skylight, a door to unfinished attic space, and a 225-square-foot bedroom with two windows, and a double closet.
The full bath on this level offers a shower/tub combination, a single vanity, and a ceramic tile floor.
The home’s third bedroom is on the walk-out lower level. The bedroom shares the space with a full bar. The bar back has cherry cabinets, a sink, and a leathered-granite counter. The bar seats five and has a handmade wooden counter fashioned out of reclaimed wood from a tobacco barn. Next to the bar is a TV room with built-in shelving. Double sliders and big windows ensure plenty of natural light. The space has a drop ceiling and carpet.
The level also has a full bath with a shower, a single-vanity, and ceramic tile floor, as well as an unfinished area with storage and utilities.
Seton Highlands has 123 units, and residents have access to a clubhouse, a pool, and walking trails that snake throughout the entire Pinehills development.
Ellen Stratton, Roz Desmond, and Sue Villaneuva of Pinehills Brokerage Services are the listing agents.
