About This Home
Wow! With a capital "W". This is one home that you don't want to miss. This beauty is loaded with charm and offers real hardwood floors, crown molding and recessed lighting throughout the home. The kitchen boasts a 37 handle kitchen with self closing drawers, a pot rack, glass rack with china closet, a glass and tile backsplash and Italian ceramic floor tile. Don't forget the new appliances! Looking for a way to conserve energy? This home offers 3 zone heating and the super efficient gas furnace as well as the triple paned replacement windows allows for very low heat bills. Summer is just about here and the outside of this home is ready for your enjoyment. The outside is just as charming as in the inside and offers plenty of room for family gatherings. Fire up that grill and enjoy hanging out on the 260 sq ft deck or in the spacious yard. Oh! And last but not least, you just have to check out the oversized 2 car garage (30 x 30). If you are looking for the man of the house, that's where you might find him!
