Generous space in this 4 bedroom two story with finished basement and enclosed back sun room. Roof new in 2015. Updated kitchen with granite counters opens to family room and dining room. Built in hutch in dining room provided extra storage along with a pantry closet in kitchen. Half bath on main floor and half bath in finished basement. Wet bar and large rec room in basement makes entertaining fun and easy! Master bed large enough for king bed and still ample space for more furniture. All bedrooms and closets are good sized. 2 car garage, fenced in yard and a shed for the overflow of yard tools. SHOW AND SELL!
Not quite your typical 2 story, this pretty, 4 bedroom, brick & cedar home is open from the family room through the breakfast area and the lovely kitchen to the dining room with the built in matching china cabinet. Then the dining room is open to the living room. Nice! There is a 3 season room off the family room, too (its square footage is not included in the home's total). The home has 4 nice sized bedrooms upstairs with lots of closet space, too. The lower level is finished with a 2nd half bath, a 2nd big family room and an L shape to a wet bar area. Even the laundry room is a plus. Heating is zoned. Throughout the home there are granite counters, lovely cabinets, super pantry, bright bay windows, neutral colors, and more. This home is bright, light, and happy. Owners have kept the home well maintained, so you can move right in. The yard is fenced. There's a lovely patio and garden area. Beyond the fence is a private drive to a neighbor's hidden house and a big field. Occasionally, deer will wander by. Delightful & quiet.
