Excellent, like new, David Bock home, barely lived in. Only 4.0 miles from town. Screened from the road by a thick Holly hedge. View to the rear is completely private with grass gently sloping to the tree line. Property is bordered by Norton Creek on the west, an unnamed stream lies to the south and Big Creek crosses it farther back. This parcel is like a wildlife sanctuary, with the serenity of songbirds singing continually, extensive native plants, shrubs, beautiful tall mountain laurel and shade trees. The house is a three bedroom, three full bath with a four bedroom permit. Generous open floor plan, bright interior, soaring wood burning fireplace with gas starter, granite and stainless kitchen, master on main, second master on upper floor. Oak floors lower, expansive wrap around front porch in front and a screened porch in the rear looking out on a broad, open garden area. Two heating systems gas/electric central air. Garage has diamond plate metal Gladiator storage cabinets, room for a small workbench, and additional storage room above the ceiling. Outside the subdivisions, no restrictions.
