About This Home

As of December 2021

Stop the search.... this one is it! Are you tired of looking at the same style homes, with small rooms and tiny yards?? Well, this home offers four HUGE bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and 8.04 ACRES!! This was once home of the Schauer Family Christmas Tree Farm! You could certainly have your own Christmas Tree Farm here as well. Not only is the acreage usable and beautiful, it is so peaceful! This home has a lovely front porch that is perfect for enjoying the sunrise or sunset! This home sits on a corner lot with a circular driveway, side turned garage, back deck and covered carport. When I tell you that every room in this home is large, there is no exaggeration here. As you enter the large foyer, the formal dining room is on your right with hardwood flooring and elongated windows for plenty of natural lighting. The family room has soaring cathedral ceilings, with a stunning floor to ceiling stone (double sided) gas fireplace, mantel and raised hearth. The sunroom is on the other side of the fireplace, offering three separate French door options for an ultimate cross breeze. The sunrooms has cathedral ceilings, a bounty of windows, and tile flooring. The kitchen is huge with more cabinets that you can fill, 42" cabinets, pots and pans drawers, tile flooring, stainless appliances, plenty of countertop space, a large eat-in breakfast area and an extra-large pantry! Then the primary bedroom is off the kitchen. This room (again huge) offers two large walk-in closets and a beautiful en-suite bathroom. This bathroom has a double bowl vanity, a large tile surround garden tub, tile flooring and a walk-in shower. The hall bath is also tile flooring which is shared by two large bedrooms on the other side of the home. The main level also has a laundry room with pocket doors, a laundry sink, plenty of cabinets for storage and a half bath (also with pocket doors). Every room and bathroom has a large closet or linen closet. There is an expansive finished space above the garage, laundry and primary bedroom. This space is currently being utilized as an office/media room/library. You could use this space as the fourth bedroom (which would be a dream for so many) and there is a full bathroom with tile flooring. The basement is (you guessed it) HUGE! This space is unfinished but waiting for your personal touch! The possibilities are endless here! There are plenty of windows and a walk-up bilco doors exit. The home also comes with holiday window lighting that is set on a timer switch. And there is a central vacuum system, so cleaning will be a breeze! The sellers thought of so many things when they built this home, and it shows! Not to mention, it is clean as a whistle! Schedule your tours now and own a little piece of paradise!
