Welcome to 1010 Red Lion Road where your country dreams can begin! This three-bedroom, 2-full bath cape features a first floor bedroom and full bath, with a gracious country layout: huge kitchen with all new appliances, new LVP flooring (and in the 1st floor bathroom), new Anderson renewal window over the kitchen sink with transferrable warranty, and a dining area featuring bay windows that draw in natural light, an island, a laundry nook in the kitchen, plus the whole kitchen affords a view of the over 2-acre lot; a huge family room at the back of the house that has a wood burning fireplace with a custom mantle from South Africa, new Anderson windows on the side of the family room; new carpeting on the first floor; a generously-sized living room with another wood-burning fireplace at the front of the house; a spacious covered front porch; a large side deck (23'9" x 9'2") that is accessible from the living room and the kitchen; and an awesome back deck (35'11" x 13'4") that is accessible from the kitchen and the family room as well as the basement. Upstairs there are two more large bedrooms, another full bath, a bonus room, and a large walk-in attic that could be finished for more living space or left as it is for great storage space. The basement is unfinished and ready for you to set up your workshop; the seller has even left you some work space to get you started! Venture out to the back of the property where you will see the four pastures with fencing that is wired for electricity and a barn with two 12' x 12' stalls, two run-ins, running water and electric, plus a tack room and hay storage. The barn has a separate electric meter from the house. This is your chance to bring your horses with you (and possibly add some additional furry or feathered friends). This property was originally part of a larger parcel of 15 acres where an orchard once stood. There are still beautiful trees here (love the tulip poplar beside the driveway and the trees that surround the lot) and the land has been separated into four pastures. Inside the house, there is hickory wood panelling which was installed years ago, and new flooring which was installed recently. This house is a wonderful combination of the old meeting the new and allows you to enjoy the country while having easy access to shopping and highways. The sale of the house is contingent upon the Seller's settlement on a new home.
