A couple hundred yards from Shellpot Creek, this solid brick ranch sits in the highly sought after neighborhood of Carrcroft . Only the opportunity of moving closer to family has made this fine home available for sale after nearly 60 years of ownership. Sitting on approximately a third of a partially wooded acre, there is plenty of room for recreation, gardening or just relaxing outside. From the drive up to house, you will notice the spacious front yard adorned with trees, bushes and plants and the long driveway heading around back to the hidden garage. It is easy to see how you could adopt this as your own. A fifty foot paver walkway escorts you from the driveway to the front door. You enter the foyer with a view to the kitchen ahead and a large living room to your left. Natural light surrounds you from the multitude of windows, as well as, 3 skylights and 2 sun tunnels. Hardwood flooring follows you with each step on the main floor with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms. The living room holds a large stone fireplace which will take the chill out of those winter nights. Toward the rear of the house is the formal dining room which overlooks the wooded back yard. The dining room has access to the oversized garage as well as the eat in kitchen. The kitchen boasts of yards of counter space and plentiful cabinetry. Behind the kitchen is a 16 x 12 screened porch which could readily be transformed into a 3 season room. A separate hallway runs from the front of the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The hall bathroom was recently rejuvenated and is gorgeous. There is a whole house fan to remove heat buildup in the house quickly without adding stress to the cooling system and an enhanced ventilation system. Downstairs you will find half of the basement has been finished including a large open room and a smaller private room to use as your imagination sees fit. The other half of the basement houses the laundry area and lots of storage space with an exit onto concrete stairs up to the back yard. The basement was waterproofed with an enhanced French drain and sump pump system that keeps moisture away.
