About This Home

As of December 2024

Great home in the community of Strausstown and Hamburg school district. This home may surprise you! It is very spacious and was well-maintained over the years and the family really enjoyed being raised here. The home features a large bright living room with built in's and a bonus room on the main level. Could be a dining room or office. The huge country kitchen has a lot to offer. Large area for a kitchen or dining room table and loads of counter space and cabinet space. At some point the home was added onto which created extra space for the kitchen, the large owner's suite upstairs, and a family room on the lower level. The kitchen features a desk area and a pantry and light pours in! Very convenient powder room on the main floor! There are 3 spare bedrooms and a nice owner's suite on the 2nd floor with tons of closet space and some built-in cabinets. Very cute hall bath with raised vanity and walk-in shower. A few more interior features are a water softener, reverse osmosis system, generator hookup. The basement features a finished family room plus a lot of extra storage space. The basement door comes up through the deck. There are a few zones on the furnace for better efficiency. Very economical taxes! Sturdy metal roof and low maintenance vinyl siding. The home needs a refresh but it is clean and well maintained. Outside you will find a large deck that is partially covered and a paver patio. Tons of room inside and out for entertaining. The yard is HUGE! There is plenty of off-street parking on the side of the yard PLUS a really nice 3-car garage. Great opportunity to move in and remodel as you go or for an investor. 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
