Privacy, space, and upgrades come together at 220 Oates Rd. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sits on 12.47 acres in a wooded setting, with plenty of usable land, a cleared yard around the home, garden areas, and room to enjoy the outdoors. A beautiful paved driveway leads you into the property, creating a peaceful, park-like setting from the moment you arrive. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with both style and function in mind. The kitchen is a standout with full-height upgraded cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, gas range with pot filler, upgraded appliances, and smart storage features. The main level continues with commercial-grade 30-year LVP flooring, updated ceilings with LED accent lighting, smart switches, and added accent walls that give the home a more finished, custom feel. The finished basement adds even more flexibility with a spacious living area, two nice-sized bonus rooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room designed with room for two washer and dryer sets. It is a great setup for guests, hobbies, work-from-home space, or additional everyday living. The improvements continue outside with an expanded deck, concrete sidewalks, retaining walls, landscaping, a sealed asphalt driveway, stone accents along the drive, bistro lighting, and low-voltage landscape lighting. The attached garage has been upgraded into a much more functional extension of the home, with insulation, drywall, mini-split heating and air, an EV charger, a slop sink, counter space, and a flexible workshop, office, or workout area. There is also a detached garage with a mezzanine and lighting, providing additional parking, workspace, and storage. Major system updates include a new 50-year roof, a replaced water heater, both HVAC units replaced within the past 3–4 years, upgraded 400-amp service, septic risers, and a macerator pump replaced in 2024. For added buyer confidence, the sellers have already completed a home inspection and septic inspection, with reports available for review. The home is also equipped with extensive smart home and security features, including Starlink equipment, hardwired security cameras, Ring and Eufy cameras, smart switches, smart plugs, smart thermostat, landscape light controls, and even cameras in the chicken coop. With major upgrades already completed, flexible living space, impressive garage improvements, and a private acreage setting, this property offers a rare combination of comfort, function, and room to spread out. Some photos have been virtually staged to help show the potential use of the spaces. Furnishings, décor, and staged items shown are for visualization only and are not included.
