Welcome to 290 Church Road. This country cottage sits on a beautiful 1 acre lot nestled peacefully at the end of a private tree lined driveway. Arriving home you will be met by colorful landscape and a retreat like setting. Very recently this home has had many updates including a new wrap around deck perfect for cool summer nights and a barbecue by the pool. The screened in porch is a great place for morning coffee and evening dinners. Inside, this home is like no other. The inviting family room has stunning bucolic views from every window and has been completely refreshed with new carpet and paint. The kitchen flows effortlessly between the family room and dining room and has also been given brand new vinyl floors. Your eyes will then be drawn into the formal living room. Boasting 16 feet high cathedral ceilings, and a stunning brick wood-burning fireplace, this room is sure to be the center of attention. The convenience of easy living is well stated in this home as the master and full bath are also on the main floor. Enjoy natural sunlight and again stunning outdoor views from all angles in this spacious master bedroom. The full bath has also been completely updated with attractive finishes. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms and a full bath. There is also a walk in attic space with room for storage. Outside is where you will want to spend most of your time whether its by the pool or relaxing under the shade trees. The large detached 2 car garage has plenty of work space and a second floor for storage or potential to be finished as a bonus room. Next to the garage is the cutest pool house you will ever see! It is completely finished with a bathroom and shower. All of the pool accessories are included. Home and Septic inspections have already been completed and passed and a new heater is currently being installed! This home has been meticulously cared for throughout the years and now is looking for a new family to create great memories. Home has never felt better!
