About This Home

Fantastic Cape cod style home located on a quiet lane in Downs. Enjoy all that this expansive 3.18 acre property offers, including its stocked pond with pier, the chicken coop and the 40 x 30 pole barn. The owners have completely transformed the main floor to include a much larger living room and fantastic "one big open kitchen into the dining room area". The main level also offers convenient laundry room off of the kitchen in the fabulous breezeway area, the large primary bedroom, and a full bathroom. Heading upstairs you'll discover two generous in size bedrooms and another full bathroom. Then in the lower level has your cozy family with the second fireplace, the third full bathroom and the 4th bedroom. This 4th bedroom could also be a media room, a game room or the primary suite! It is of fantastic size and does have direct access to that 3rd full bathroom. The outdoor spaces of this home are the real prize and rarity to ever find on the market. The entire back of the house overlooks the stocked pond and gorgeous tranquil spaces. This space is perfect for your BBQ's, your hammock enjoying, and some amazing "painted skies" sunrise watching! All this and within the award winning Tri Valley school district, makes this house absolutely fabulous!
