About This Home

As of August 2024

Peace and serenity surround you on this unique, special property with residential home or limited business opportunity option! Privacy abounds on this brick raised ranch which sits on 2.21 wooded acres and comes with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths plus a 1-car & 4-car garage! A newer concrete driveway leads you to the entrance of this beautiful home as well as down around the back of the home where the garage and stone workshop sits. Once inside the foyer, to the left you find a lovely kitchen, which has stainless steel appliances, upgraded gas cooking, wood flooring, lots of cabinets for lots of storage and an island.
The living/dining combination is quite spacious and has crown molding and chair rail and built-ins for extra storage. The great room also has a beautiful brick fireplace with insert and lots of windows. There is outside access through the dining room into the outside cat fenced in patio and access through the living room into the sunroom, which has a cathedral/beamed ceiling and skylights and onto the patio area or newer deck with beautiful views. All three bedrooms have hardwood flooring and large closets. There is a full bathroom on this level and a lovely powder room. An attached 1 car garage is convenient and contains the laundry area. The finished, walk-out lower level has a huge recreation room with a corner stone, gas fireplace, a huge wet bar with a live edge natural wood counter, large cedar walk-in closet, full bath with shower, mechanical room, as well as large windows and access to a large rear patio. There is an oversized, 4-car detached garage and a brownstone/workshop type building and lean to, with new roofs. Many upgrades to the home have been completed, including updated electric, a whole house generator, a newer whole house surge protector, newer windows, tankless water heater, newer patios and walkways, newer water conditioner, new flooring and extensive painting. The property comes with a fenced tennis court area that can be rebuilt and resurfaced (the current owner used it to store large equipment). Surrounded by tall trees and endless outdoor possibilities, plus, close to everything yet remote location. Remember, there are limited business opportunities on this property… it could be the best of both worlds!! Don’t miss out!
