About This Home

As of July 2022

What a find! Immaculately maintained home with lots of living space in a convenient location. As you enter the home note the attention to detail with the charming stenciled design on the front porch, these little touches are through out the home and make it truly special. The entry foyer leads to the large living room, with its inviting aspect. The brick fronted fire place with wood mantel provides a great focal point.
Open to the dining room, which is perfect for entertaining. The dining room has a slider to one of the special rooms of the house, a three season porch. The stencil motif, seen on the front entry is mirrored here as well. Imagine how relaxing this space can be! The porch provides access to the lush rear yard, patio and fire pit area. The porch is also accessed from the kitchen area, enjoy morning coffee, watching the birds but don't burn the toast!! The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a charming farmhouse style sink, pantry, granite counters, island and a breakfast bar peninsula. Lots of counter space for baking and meal prep. Up a small flight of stairs to the main bedroom level, with a bedroom with a private bath and two more bedrooms sharing the hall bath. Up a another small flight of stairs is the private primary suite. The bedroom has lots of storage with three closets and two more closets either side of the bed with on trend sliding barn doors. The ensuite bath has nice extra touches such as the over head shower head and the wood inset detail. The lower level is home to the family room which provides access to the patio via a slider. Access to the two car garage is here too. There are two more rooms, both being currently used as offices and a half bath. The basement is home to the laundry, a recreation room and wait for it, follow the lighted signs to an amazing wine/ tasting room what fun! Hardwood floors are throughout. Lots of parking and a two car garage attached too. Move in today!
