UPDATED! EXPANSIVE! PRIVATE! PEACEFUL! Welcome to 5525 Old School Road where you'll find a wonderfully updated 2940 4BR/2.5BA one-story ranch-style home on a 2.28 acre lot. The home features an expanded 1-story floor plan with an open concept kitchen/nook/family/dining room combo, center island, marble counter-tops, custom cabinetry and trim, chef's range, hardwood floors, wide entry and hallways. A separate game room/bonus room with custom wet bar and built-in wine refrigerator, abundant cabinetry and loads of natural light. The outdoor spaces include a large rear patio with custom built-in kitchen with gas grill and a custom gas firepit on an elevated granite tabletop. A separate barn is waiting for your plans to update it with a custom shop and potential ADU building. Room for horses, goats, chickens and other critters. The possibilities are endless for this magical property!
This is a true fixer upper. The home appears to be mostly original. The property is very nice with some views out the back of the house. The unpermitted back house is two stories.
