About This Home
As of September 2017Welcome to this charming custom-built ranch located on a beautiful, non-development lot in Townsend. Nestled on a 1 acre lot, offering park-like views from most rooms, this 2,100sf, 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home is loaded with upgrades. Upon arrival, you and your guests will be greeted by stunning curb appeal and an expansive driveway large enough for 6+ cars. The wide and bright foyer welcomes you into the great room that features a dramatic vaulted ceiling with a beautiful, ornamental ceiling fan, and a wood burning fireplace that is flanked by transom windows offering tranquil views of the expansive yard and babbling creek. This space provides a wonderful place to entertain, as it is open to the breakfast nook and gorgeous gourmet kitchen. The custom kitchen features 42" cabinets with crown molding and a built-in wine rack, dark granite counters with a double bowl sink, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry and recessed lights. Feel like a chef when you cook on the Jenn-Air downdraft gas cooktop inset in the kitchen island or bake in the wall oven and built in microwave/convection oven, and enjoy your meal in the light-filled breakfast area with 8' sliders leading to the maintenance free trex deck. The formal dining room (currently used as a den) is just off the kitchen and boast beautiful hardwood flooring, French doors and large windows for plenty of natural light. The private owner's suite features a walk-in closet, large picture windows overlooking the backyard, and a luxury bath with jetted soaking tub and dual vanity. 2 additional ampled-sized bedrooms and a 2nd full bath is located on the opposite side of the home for added privacy. The lower level features a large walk-out basement. Outside the home, enjoy a relaxing day on the large front porch, host a large gathering in the expansive backyard complete with a quintessential picnic table, or try your green thumb in the vegetable garden beds. Pride of ownership shows throughout this lovingly maintained home. A great opportunity and value await the new owner.
