About this home

Be set apart in this noteworthy property now available on Elm Road in Mt Olive! A literal bird sanctuary, this grand brick and stacked stone home is poised amidst a lovely setting of mature hardwoods and robust foliage, making nature-watching as easy as opening your back door! And the renovations since 1961 have only enhanced the home's efficiencies and augmented its desirability to all who visit. For example, the added master suite (1998) is truly an oasis of rest with sun splashed floor space, gratifying closet and bath space, and a generous laundry room. The enclosure of the original garage into family room is a perfect compliment to the renovated kitchen - sure to please any cook and accommodate quite a large crowd. Glorious outdoor decking runs near the expanse of the home's rear, and overlooks a port a cache AND a detached garage with wood working shop. Main level parking, room for an RV and more, this home begs a crowd! Could it be yours?
