About This Home

As of October 2022

Just down the street from the Lincoln Park Swimming Pool this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home has it all...it's a home not a house...cared for by its only owners since 1980 and visited by countless friends over the years this home has a recently updated kitchen with stainless appliances, tile backsplash and flooring and a propane stove and granite countertops along with soft-close drawers. The adjacent dining has the same flooring as the kitchen and is large enough for those fun gatherings and has a slider to the screened in porch which offers another space to sit with friends and family. Next to the dining room is a large living room with a bay window and newer side panel windows which open for that extra breeze on a cool day. There are 3 bedrooms on this level and a full bath which features an interesting and attractive cement style vanity and tile walk in shower with glass barn doors for easy access. The master bedroom has direct access to the expansive 32' deck with its quiet, secluded corner. If you want some extra space head downstairs to the large family room and its efficient propane heater/stove which helps make the house "toasty" so you don't have to use the heat pump system! Down the hallway is a large laundry room and another full bath with tile shower and another unique cement vanity/sink. There's an attached oversized garage with interior access. The rear deck and open spacious back yard with its heated and filtered above ground 24' diameter pool is where all the action is during the summer months. Swimming for everyone makes the summer a fun time...there's even a "Soccer Ball Wall" ..a wooden wall for practicing your soccer kicks! All of this in a private setting with arborvitae surrounding the corner property. This is the home for you!
