About This Home

As of November 2015

Very clean, well maintained home on 9.28 acres in tranquil country setting. Nestled well off the road & backing to preserved farmland, this home has generous sized rooms throughout. First floor provides all the living space you'll ever need. Living rm w woodburning fireplace adjoins the dining rm, which leads to updated 32 handle kitchen w flat-top cook surface, double wall ovens & double SS sink. There is a convenient, upgraded half bath & laundry rm at this level, plus a huge mud/utility rm w access to the patio at one end & garage at the other. The spacious, bright family rm w windows on 3 walls & wood/coal burning stove provides a peaceful 4-season retreat w gorgeous views of the front, side & rear acreage. Upstairs is your master BR w 2 closets & bath w newly tiled shower, 2 more large bedrooms, & second full bath. There are beautiful original hardwood floors throughout the 2nd floor. Outdoor living does not get any better than you'll find on this one of a kind property, w both cleared & wooded areas. Off the back, a beautiful garden patio, grill area & covered, paved section w ample room for outdoor furniture. Approx. .25 acre of side yard is fenced for your chldrn or pets, & there is a built in bench overlooking the front yard where you can relax by yourself or cuddle with a loved one or two! Beyond the treeline lies a creek-fed pond & former cleared area which was the location of many gatherings of friends and family. Large 3 bay garage formerly used as a horse barn would be perfect for animals, horticultural, or organic farming. Separate workshop/studio, w attached one stall garage for outdoor equipment, has electricity and woodstove. The upstairs has been framed out to finish, has skylights, & a door leading to the exterior providing possibility of a small upstairs deck. There is also a 742 sq ft former wood craftsman's museum which has heat/AC, abundant recessed lighting, & provides endless possibilities for the hobbyist, collector, guesthouse, man-cave or she-shed! Potential use for either of these two buildings to be converted to an in-law or guest house. Property has established peach trees, abundant raspberry bushes and plenty of room for a vegetable garden. Additionally, there is a covered woodshed & a V-notch log cabin for storage or play house. Property is sub-dividable; verify this & any potential use with township. Less than a half mile from scenic Knight Rd and the equestrian & walking trails along the Green Lane Park lake.
