About This Home
As of May 2023Looking for LOTS of living space - nearly 5,000 sf ? In an AWARD WINNING School District ? Conveniently Located ? And you're willing to put in the sweat equity necessary to save 6 figures ???? Just bring your toolbox and some paint, repair some glass, rehang some doors, tune up the mechanicals and do a deep clean to restore this custom home to it's previous splendor. A Transitional styled home, it boasts almost 5,000 square feet of finished living space !! Features include an atrium Foyer with plenty of energizing light. Custom mill-work and moldings. A smartly organized Kitchen with Granite counters. A quaint Sunken breakfast room around the corner from a side exit to a large deck - perfect to bring the indoor living right outside. Oversized formal Dining Room and spacious Family Room overlooking a VERY LARGE back yard complete with Utility Shed and it's own Pond. But the jewel of the first floor is it's charming Master Suite featuring French Doors opening to a massive Private deck. Back inside find Jack & Jill closets, a serene Sitting, and Office (Nursery?) area, all leading to a warm Tile Master Bath with Tub and Walk In Shower. The Second floor provides 4 Additional B/R's w/ walk out decks perched high above the Meadow-Like back yard, Large hall bath and 2nd Fl Laundry. And then there's the Basement - fit for another family. L/R and Dining Area (or Family Room), Kitchen, Full Bath, B/R and Laundry all w/ several Walk-Out exits to an expansive Covered patio and all the back yard nature. Almost 5,000 sf (see floor plans). This Estate is being sold AS-IS and any necessary repairs to secure a U&O will be the responsibility of the Buyer. The included pictures from 3 years ago, give a great indication of how the home could look when the cosmetics and repairs are corrected which opinions estimate would immediately add near $100k to the value. Best buy per sf currently in the Rose Tree Media School District !
