About This Home
As of October 2018Fantastic Opportunity awaits you in Sparta with this large, spacious ranch. Your new home is sure to capture your attention and your heart as well. This house packs a punch and features main floor living with your family and needs in mind. The main floor boasts a cozy living room that is open to the kitchen and dining area. The dining area is showcased by a large slider that leads out to your private 8' x 14' deck. The kitchen is open and offers lots of counter space and cupboards. There is even a window over the sink so that you can enjoy the view of your backyard and watch what is going on. Down the hall from the dining area you will find 3 bedrooms and a full bath.
The lower level features a HUGE family/rec room. The size of this room allows you to do both! Have a pool table on one side and a couch and TV area on the other! The possibilities are endless! Bedroom #4 (currently Non-conforming- needs egress window installed). This large bedroom, can be used for a play room, work out room or even home office. It also has 2 closets and direct access to the half bath! The previous owner even gave egress access with a ladder in the utility room that goes up to the main floor. With a large space like this. You are only limited by your imaginations!
Outside the fun continues! The home is on a spacious yard that is 85' x 155' Deep. With a yard this large you truly feel like you have a park for a yard! The icing on the cake is that this yard is also Fenced in and even has a fire pit!!!! Relax and enjoy while the kids or pets play knowing that they are safe in your own backyard! But one of the best perks of this home is the Oversized attached Two Stall Garage! Measuring 24' wide by 28.5' deep (measured from garage door to wall) this garage allows you to park and play! Have your toys and still keep your car or truck snow free this winter!
Newer homes with features like this do not come along often in this area. This is not a home that you need to "sleep on it". If you do, you may not sleep in it!
