Very special home, full of character and pride. Original builder and owner owned a local lumber company and the attention to craftsmanship shows with many wood and stone features and built-ins. 5 Bedrooms and room for everyone to spread out. Large formal dining room separated from the angled family room with cathedral ceiling by a stone fireplace. Step out from here to the Trex deck that overlooks the private back yard that backs up to Mueller Heights and the in-ground pool with slide and diving board! The lower level walks out to this wonderful setting and offers a wet bar and rec room plus a Workshop, pool room or exercise room with double doors to the outside. This is truly a unique home and a unique opportunity. Pre-inspected by Steve Swift, HomeSpec.
