Formal living room with see through brick masonry fireplace and large bay window overlooking the scenic pond. Formal dining room off the kitchen and living room areas. All 4 BRs are on the main floor. Primary BR also overlooks the pond and comes with an updated primary BA. The 2 garage doors allow space for 4 cars plus a workshop space if needed. The 28x12 fully enclosed sun room on the south side of the house is heated and cooled for all season use. The 24x23 great room has a very high vaulted ceiling to make it perfect for entertaining. The 24x16 family room opens to the kitchen to make it a convenient hangout room for TV and conversations. The 2541 sq ft of unfinished basement area has a half bath and the some or all of the basement could easily be finished if you want even more living space. The entire 7+ acre property is fenced to keep wildlife away from the house. The property is hidden in the woods directly across from Jay Shideler Elementary School on the west side of Wanamaker Road but you have probably never noticed it because of the dense woods keeping it private. This is truly an amazing property with endless possibilities as you deem necessary. Come check it out and feel free to walk the entire property. Asking price is 38,000 below current County Appraisal Value. Rare find.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

RR-1
Residential Reserve District
This district is established to provide for a transitional area between urbanized development with intensive activity areas, and the rural-agricultural areas; and which is expected to become urbanized in subsequent planning periods. The limitations of this district are intended to allow for the gradual development of urban uses and activities therefore providing for the coexistence with agricultural farmland activities based upon the availability and extension of municipal facilities and services. Such urban development will be permitted at appropriate intensity-density levels to assure that public improvement expenditures are appropriately planned for in advance of the conversion to urban uses.
