Lovely 3 BRs/1 bath ranch stakes its claim in charming Dover area. Appreciate 1-level living with bonus big deck and finished LL for extra space! Home's red brick/white siding exterior edged with white railing offers a warm welcome. Front door opens to main space, which is roomy and either can be formal LR or more-lived-in FR. Picture window flanked by 2 side windows is along front wall, while side wall features dual window. Lots of natural light highlights soft carpeting, and ceiling fan keeps room cool during hot summer months. DR sits beyond LR/FR and has continued carpeting along with chandelier. DR is edged with black wrought iron railing, which behind is where steps to lower level are located. Off DR is kitchen with wood cabinets with brushed brass hardware and mix of white and black/SS appliances. Ample cabinets allow for no-effort organization of dishes, glasses and dry goods. Dual window looks out to flat backyard. Hallway off main area leads back to 3 spacious BRs, all carpeted with neutral paint, windows and roomy closets. Hall bath has updated retro gray wall tile trimmed with black tile border with rich nutmeg-color window treatments and shower curtain. Dual-sink vanity allows for easy morning routines for 2 people, and is spacious offering out-of-sight-room for tucking towels and bathroom supplies, while earth-tone flooring ties in tan window treatments and shower curtain. Carpeted steps from DR lead to landing, where there is door leading out to deck, and then down to LL. LL is a footprint of main level with huge room being divided between storage and living space. One area consists of storage with shelving and W & D with room for cabinets and even chest freezer. Finished area is carpeted with plenty of light streaming through several transom-type windows. This area easily could be den, rec room or playroom where books and board games, toys and trikes can be stored and allow for main level to be clutter-free. Or the area could serve as spacious home office or exercise room! Choice is yours! Storm door and 1/2-glass pane door leads to outside where huge deck adds extra entertaining space, and is bound to be hang-out for BBQs and outdoor bashes. Fenced-in backyard allows for privacy and is edged with tall trees providing optimal shade. Low-lying shrubs hug back of home and offer pop of green. Shed in corner of yard is great for storing lawn mower, garden equipment and even a snow blower. Great home, great value!
