Privacy abounds in this lovely country setting, yet is conveniently located to all major routes. There is unlimited potential for many uses; growing family that needs space, in-law or Au pair potential, "Man Town", "Teen Cave" or just lots of extra usable space (including a fireplace in the lower level family room). There is Central Air conditioning, a water filtration system and a standby 20kw generator as well. This home has a large back deck which leads to an above-ground pool and has a wide, paved driveway to accommodate all of the cars that will be visiting you on hot summer days! The storage room under the deck can double as a storage area of equipment or a place to park your car in the bad winter months, since there is access into the home from this area. This is a lovely home, simple and well cared for that is just waiting for you to add your personal touches.
