About This Home
Ready to live your best life? This place is all about tranquility and space to call your own. We're talking nearly an acre of land backed by protected nature-so your only "nosy" neighbors might be the local deer. Inside this all brick beauty you will find the easy-working kitchen with an oh-so necessary window over the sink which opens right into a sun-drenched dining and living area with walls of windows, making it the ultimate spot for whatever your heart desires. You've got four bedrooms, including a convenient first-floor primary suite. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement is cozy as can be thanks to its own woodburning fireplace (yep, there are two in the house!). Storage abounds with loads of closet space on all three levels! Outside is where the real magic happens. The backyard has an above-ground pool and a multi-level deck. Plus, that 3-car detached garage is a dream for anyone with a fleet of cars, a woodworking addiction, or just a lot of "stuff." Recently done - new insulation in the attic and a re-built chimney - things you don't always notice right away! The love and care this home has been given is evident in every corner. Check out the list of updates and upgrades under Additional Information tab. Seriously, what are you waiting for?
