About This Home
As of September 2016AMAZING Character throughout this Stone home! As you walk up the stone walk way and onto the covered front porch to head inside you will already feel right at home. Then enter through the front door and you are instantly drawn to the Living Room to your right. The focal points of this room are the fireplace, wood floors, built-in book cases and a window seat that overlooks the front yard! From here, the formal Dining is next. This is the perfect space for those special meals with the wood floors, bay window and easy access into the kitchen through the swinging door. The updated kitchen is sure to please with plenty of cabinet and counter space, an eat in area, built in refrigerator and modern appliances. Completing this main level is a half bath. Upstairs you will find a Master Suite with wood floors, a full bath and two nicely sized closets. Then head down the hall to the two other bedrooms and the home's second full bath! From this level, there is also a small deck on the back of the home that you can sit on...a great spot for that morning cup of coffee! The finished third level also has lots of possibilities from a 4th bedroom to LOTS of storage. Thats not it...check out this basement. The character is even present down there! This space makes for a great family room or even a play area. This level is also home to the laundry area, mechanical and more storage space! But that is not it! Check out the outside! Mature trees, beautiful plants, a two car detached garage and back porch! If you are looking for that "special" home with character abound...look no further! Please call to schedule your showing today!
