An elegant split-level home on 3. 3 acres of usable land. Private paved driveway with a wrought iron gate insures privacy and security and leads to a large detached 2-car garage. Property is very useable and did have horses at one time. There is an upper area all flat and a meadow at the front of the property. Home is beautifully appointed and in great shape. Remodeled chef's kitchen, tastefully remodeled bathrooms with tile and granite with a spa tub and walk-in shower. Lovely light hardwood flooring and lots of windows and French doors bring nature inside. Seller has installed solar panels, there is a generator and there is a private well that supplies ample water and that tastes great, too!
