About This Home

As of August 2013

(js48) Plenty of sunshine and views of nature from the unique wall of living room windows found in this 5 bed/3.5 bath home bring feel-good warmth to this contemporary design. The property has been professionally landscaped to add privacy and curb appeal to the home. The tiled foyer has an air lock entry (which helps maintain lower heating and cooling costs) which leads directly to the generous freshly painted great room with lofted ceilings and fireplace. The contemporary feel of the kitchen is carried out through the attractive overhead lighting and spacious tiled counter. The dining area has access to the deck area and overlooks the spacious yard with fire pit and gazebo. You will also find the master bedroom with walk-in California closet and bath (with whirlpool) on the main level. The upper level has an additional 3 bedrooms and bath. The lower level family room will be a favorite for casual entertainment with plenty of space for pool table, game table, foosball, fireplace, screen porch with French doors and an additional bedroom and bath. Other features of the home include: 3 new patio doors, new Anderson windows throughout the home, paved driveway, 2 car garage, new septic system installed in 2007, newer washer/dryer, newer faucets, furnace (Aprilaire)/AC installed in 2004, roof installed in 2008, new garage door in 2008, house stained in 2012, conduit wiring and plenty of storage. The home is being sold unfurnished but furniture negotiable.
