About This Home

As of February 2020

Lovingly cared for by the current owners for over 30 years, this single home is waiting for you! Walking up to the home, you'll first notice the charming covered front porch, perfect for that morning coffee. Walking into the large (16 x 24) living room, there is a wood burning fireplace (condition unknown since the owners never used it). The formal dining room is great for family dinners and has a ceiling fan. Off this room is a family room/den/office which leads to the eat in kitchen featuring a black Whirlpool gas range, oak cabinets, Formica counters, laminate floor, black refrigerator and a dishwasher. When you exit the kitchen, you'll be in the screened in porch which overlooks the fenced in yard. The yard has an above ground 24 foot pool along with decking around it. There's also a pond and a wood deck near the side of the home. You even have a cherry tree and apple tree! Let's not forget the 1 car detached garage plus a private drive for 4+ cars. The 2nd floor features a master bedroom with triple windows and ceiling fan. There are 3 additional bedrooms on this level along with an updated hall bath with tile floor. Walk up to a 3rd floor which is finished with carpets, closet and ceiling fan and could be a 5th bedroom if needed! The basement is a full unfinished space and is perfect for all your storage. There's a 1/4 bath and the laundry room on this level. An outside exit to Bilco doors if very convenient also. This home is one that you can move in immediately and is being sold in as is condition. Priced to sell, you'll be pleasantly surprised! Come take a look!
