About This Home
As of August 2019The exceptional setting on a quiet cul-de-sac location in Exeter School District with breathtaking 15 mile views of the distant mountain ridge from the rear windows and the elaborate cobblestone walkways & patio will make you want to call this home without even seeing the inside! This home has been meticulously maintained and lovingly cared for from top to bottom. Unmistakably unique characteristics include the hand-swirl textured ceilings in the living room, dining room and foyer, plus throughout the home you will notice the hand-painted faux and decorative elements done by a local artist. The kitchen was completely remodeled with Baldwin custom glazed bead inset cabinetry, stone backsplash with accent tiles, granite counters and radiant heat under the tile flooring. Double French doors open from the kitchen to the sunroom transporting you to another place. Perhaps, a tropical resort in the summer and chalet in the winter. Multiple window and door series survey the distant mountain ridge beyond the level grounds with playset and large shed. This room has its own new heat & AC unit, plus a propane stove to keep it the perfect temperature year-round. The family room on the opposite side of the kitchen reveals arched top windows flanking the brick surround propane fireplace insert, picture window at front, angled ceiling with skylights and teak hardwood flooring. As we head to the front of the house, you'll notice the newer front door with leaded glass and matching sidelights, plus the beautiful wool carpet runner on the double scroll bottom staircase. And once upstairs, you'll be astonished to find gorgeous Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring in the center hall and all bedrooms. The Master Bedroom Suite features a walk-in closet, double door entry to private bath bestowing ornate floor to ceiling maple cabinetry, granite counters around double Kohler sinks, tile with glass surround spa/rain shower options and raised Toto toilet.
