About This Home
As of December 2020This is a special home that must be seen and experienced to truly grasp its uniqueness, flexibility of space and GREAT potential and includes a FULL SUITE. This is a home with many fascinating options: 1) a spacious 5 bedroom home with multiple living areas with space to spread out and find privacy in many areas, or 2) a 4 bedroom with a large living room, large family room with a mother-in-law suite(bedroom 5) in the lower area(includes a separate kitchen area and 3/4 bath- can be used as 3 separate areas, each with their own entrance. Some updating and cosmetic repairs needed but this home is fantastic. There is hardwood flooring under the older carpet in the living and dining room(see pulled back corner in living room). The flooring could be BEAUTIFUL). The rooms are very spacious with a fireplace in both the living and family room. It has a newer roof and HVAC system.The main kitchen is spacious, updated and perfect for preparing meals for any large gathering. Don't forget to go to the lower level suite.This would also make a great private office area for those needing to work from home. Then from the back of the suite head down the ramp past several storage areas to the large supply, storage, gym, playroom/laundry room. You will be amazed. The back yard is like a private park with huge shade trees and plenty of room for play, entertaining, etc. There are storage areas everywhere in this home. Let your imagination go..create a dream. Home is sold in 'AS IS" condition.
