About this home

WOOD BURNING STOVE JUST INSTALLED TO HEAT ENTIRE HOUSE! Come home to tranquility after your stressful day to a modern contemporary rancher nestled amid 2 wooded acres of stately trees offering privacy and seclusion. Prepare food for the grill in the updated kitchen with brand new appliances and granite counter tops; then barbecue on one of two stone hearths that sit on the property. Relax on the wooden deck around the back of the house and enjoy the views! Watch TV in a custom sunroom with a wall of glass, 5 window seats and a stone floor. Retire to one of three spacious bedrooms with roomy closets. The home contains two brand new full baths with granite vanity and brushed nickel fixtures. For the man of the house, sneak away to the perfect "man cave" situated away from the main house. The customized shed features custom built in storage, AC, and electricity. The property was professionally landscaped. A fantastic find that is only minutes away from the local grocery store, restaurants.
