Your castle on the hill awaits. This 4 bedroom 2 bath custom Cape Cod style home sitting on 1 full acre is sure to please. Two bedrooms and 1 bath on the first floor and the same on the second floor. The open and flowing floor plan includes a large eat in kitchen, family room with wood burning fireplace and an awesome 4 seasons room offering tons of natural light. You also have a unique New York style roof deck that is perfect for entertaining plus multiple outside patio areas. This property definitely has a private country feel as it backs up to farmland and is really out of site relative to neighbors, however, it is close to all major amenities. It has been refreshed throughout so nothing to do but move in. 3 spot carport that could be turned into a garage and full basement waiting to be finished. A UV Light has been added to the water line and the steps from the carport to the home have been redone. Take a look before it is gone.
