Enter through the custom front door and view the floor to ceiling brick fireplace with insert. This light filled home features oak hardwood floors, vaulted cedar ceilings with wood encased skylights, and knotty pine throughout, but enough drywall to hang your favorite artwork. The home features wood encased dual pane windows, an open dining area adjacent to the kitchen with newer appliances. Off the kitchen you will find a butler's pantry and laundry area. From here, enter the primary bedroom suite through wide doorways to a bathroom. There are two additional rooms and a full bathroom. The exterior of the home features two decks, a . 34 acre usable lot with a lovingly maintained garden, storage shed and partially finished basement. You will love the screened in room above the carport that is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing watching the birds or enjoying lovely sunsets.
