French doors open to wood deck and private back yard, perfect for entertaining, bird watching, or quiet time. Three bedrooms with two full baths, including master bath. 3rd bedroom could be used as potential office or den with French doors to front yard and meditative garden. Double pane windows throughout add to energy efficiency. Newer kitchen with stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting with dimmers, and granite counter tops, with plenty of room for table and chairs. All interior doors were replaced with solid custom made doors. Upgraded wood molding and trim throughout. Maple hardwood flooring in all rooms. 3rd bedroom/den has custom wood ceiling with bead board finishes. 1548 sq. ft. on first floor plus 1548 more in basement. Front and back yard landscaped with perennial plantings and mature trees, offering low maintenance and tranquility...with no lawn to mow. House exterior painted in August 2018. Roof replaced in 2007 with dimensional asphalt. Cedar wood garage doors have glass inset windows. Adding to the curb appeal is a decorative wood vine-covered pergola framing front of house, plus ironwood porch steps down to stone patio for morning coffee or tea. Large partially finished basement with walk-out provides numerous possible uses, including home office, exercise area, and/or storage. Home overlooks the wooded lots of Crab Tree Farms, adding to the tranquil setting. Don't miss seeing this one-of-a-kind home.
