About this home
Capital City home that has all the serenity of a country property! This contemporary ranch style home was designed by a Scandavian architect for his family. Airy and spacious rooms with an open floor plan and tons of windows to let in all the sunlight! The huge living room has a gorgeous brick fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors. Wonderful open kitchen with wooden counter tops and big breakfast bar. Current owner has had the space under the garage finished with new windows, walk out access, and a room which is already plumbed for a bathroom--just awaiting your choice of fixtures and decor! Lovely yard with a pond perfect for ice skating or paddling. Great garden space and too many upgrades to name here but the list is attached! Wonderful home with the possibility of an in-law apartment. Motivated seller.

Rural District
The Rural District is composed mainly of large landholdings used for rural residential, agricultural, forestry, recreation, open space, conservation and other natural resource-based purposes. Generally, land in this district is not served by city water or sewer or by roads capable of accommodating heavy traffic. The purpose of this district is to maintain a low-density settlement pattern and rural character by clustering development and protecting farmland, forestland, open space, and important natural resources.
