Both inside and out, this beautiful colonial-style home is delightful. The large living room is great for family time or entertaining. It sports an attractive wool carpet, "Just Shorn" from New Zealand wool. The formal dining room is graced with a bright bay window. From the dining room, a butler's pantry connects with the kitchen which has a breakfast area, small desk, and windows overlooking the back yard. The kitchen with many handsome cabinets and upgraded appliances has a mud room leading to the garage. The mudroom has a lavatory and a toilet, as well as storage. The garage easily accommodates two vehicles, one of which could be a larger truck. At the front door is a generous entry-way affording a view of the handsome oak staircase. Upstairs are three larger-than-average sized bedrooms and a bathroom. At the end of the hall is a luxurious master suite with a walk-in closet and the bath with double sinks and plenty of storage. In the hallway is a laundry chute, which conveniently takes laundry down to the basement. The basement is a huge bonus feature of the home. With its concrete floor and high ceiling, it has 1344 square feet. If added to the 2786 square feet of the home, the total square footage becomes 3,112 square feet. Make the basement what you will: exercise or play space, projects room, office space, a plants area, and, of course, more storage.. It houses the washer and dryer, as well as the boiler, a new pellet stove (which has not been used) as well as a fresh air exchange. Out back, the spacious yard has a basketball hoop, a two-story playhouse, and a garden area. A concrete patio overlooks the fenced yard. Along the side of the house are perennials, and the front of the home has a manicured lawn and colorful flowers. Behind the house is a paved path for hiking or biking alongside the Chena River. It makes an easy walk to ball fields, playgrounds, and the Carlson Center. A big advantage, according to the owners, is being close to schools and town. Time-saving at its best! The neighbors, too, are likeable and friendly, making it a place that will be missed.
