This great home has it all - mountain view of Shortoff, a pond and a stream. Doesn't get much better that that except that the home is in pristine condition - pre-inspected and repairs completed. The main level features a large living room with cathedral ceilings and a corner fireplace. A balcony from a sitting room above provides the perfect stage for kids to put on plays - which is just what the wee ones from this family did for many years. A cozy den is the perfect place to relax and still keep the conversation flowing with the chef who will delight in this gourmet kitchen with oversized work island. The master bedroom is spacious and has a large walk-in closet plus a garden tub and separate shower. Upstairs are two spacious guest suites, plus two nooks perfect for catching a snooze on a lazy afternoon or reading a good book. There is a little surprise room upstairs that the grands will love to have as their private hideaway and if there are no grands - it would make great storage! The full basement is a dream for a hobbyist with high ceilings and outside access. If this is not enough to entice you, perhaps the spectacular grounds will do the trick. In addition to a flowing stream, there is a beautiful pond to practice your flyfishing, a lovely yard for dogs or kids, extensive landscaping for the gardener to enjoy plus that great view of Shortoff Mountain. This is the complete package!! Won't last long because it is priced well under the tax appraisal.
