About This Home

As of May 2017

Enjoy the best of both worlds--COUNTRY LIVING yet close enough to MAJOR HIGHWAYS!You can work in the city during the day and come home to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet in your large shaded back yard.If you do work at home, there is a bedroom that is already set up as an office.A great desk that gives you an outdoor view, loads of storage and a closet complete this room which would also make a great 4th bedroom if you so desire.All for bedrooms are the same size with large closets and the master has it's own full bath! And speaking of storage; there's plenty of storage in not only the bathrooms but also loads of closet and shelving space in the halls. As a matter of fact, one of the main reasons the seller bought the house was because of all of the closet space!The country kitchen has plenty of room for your table and the living room has beautiful large windows that look out on both the front and the back of the house and yard.The basement is just waiting for your finishing touch
