Everything Will Please You...
Inside and outside!
The Enclosed Front Porch
The enclosed front porch provides a welcoming space to greet family and friends. This versatile porch integrates quality elements such as a stained pine ceiling and hardwood flooring. This space is easily adaptable for dining, reading or simply relaxing from the day’s responsibilities.
Quality and Attention to Detail
When you enter the front door, you will notice quality essentials such as hardwood flooring found throughout the home. You will admire the many custom-made items and decorative elements such as the tiled gas fireplace, the recessed LED lighting, and the colonial molding found throughout the home.
The Open Floor Plan on the First Floor
So many people today desire an “open” floor plan, and this home accommodates that preference.
The Living Room :: Virtually Staged
Be creative in arranging your furnishings in this living room. It's a room intended for people to gather together and catch up with one another on the day’s happenings.
The Kitchen
Complete with stainless steel appliances and a full wall of Pella windows, the appearance and functionality of the kitchen is elevated profoundly which contributes nicely to create a hospitable atmosphere.
The Dining Room :: Virtually Staged
The walls that had once encompassed the dining room and kitchen, which limited the line of sight and sound from the living room, have been removed. This will surely please the most discerning chef!
The family chef will now enjoy preparing meals with an audience of friends and family in the open kitchen which includes a granite surface eating and preparation bar with open overhead shelving and a walk-in Pantry closet.
The Guest Bath
The first-floor guest bath features attractive bead-boarded walls which convey the classic styling of a colonial home while combining contemporary design elements for modern day functionality.
The Second Floor
When the time approaches to retire for the day, the bedrooms and full bath located on the second floor afford both comfort and amenity.
Bedroom #1
There is nothing to do to ready this room other than to move your “day bed” or a “queen” sized bed in. The hardwood floors are an attractive quality feature, and a single sized wardrobe closet makes this the perfectly sized room for a welcome guest or a treasured child.
The Primary Bedroom :: Virtually Staged
The primary bedroom extends the invitation to bring your king-sized bed, your smart TV and other pieces of furniture, too. This room offers no compromises and combines modern features suggesting common sense. There are two walk-in, amply sized wardrobe closets and a view with a front and side orientation.
There is a walk-up attic accessed from the primary bedroom that affords easy and convenient storage for off-season clothing and other items.
The Full Ceramic Deluxe Bath
The full ceramic bath offers extraordinary features you’ll be hard pressed to find in any other home in this price range. The five-foot, glass enclosed, shower has a recessed area for soap and shampoo, two shower heads plus a “rainfall” shower. The front-lighted vanity mirror and recessed LED lighting mean no shadows.
On the first cold weather day of the year, you will vocally express your appreciation for the radiant heated ceramic tiled floor and will in no way give up your heated towel rack!
The room is well planned to offer convenience such as the linen closet within arms length for bath and hand towel storage.
Would You Like the Option to Work From Home?
Do you work from home? Do you have a home workout routine? The partially finished basement presents you with a versatile space affording multiple uses with an acoustical tiled ceiling, recessed lights, and wall to wall carpet. *The partially finished basement image has been virtually staged.*
There is an unfinished section of the basement which houses the mechanical systems of the house including the tankless hot water, the natural gas fired three zone furnace and the laundry facility located behind bi-fold doors.
The Rear Courtyard
Living here is both stylish and easy! After eating dinner at the dining table, you can take your dessert or favorite beverage out to the rear deck to enjoy the hot-tub or binge watch your favorite show from your streaming service on your pop-up TV lift cabinet.
You’ll soon grow fond of using the fire pit on chilly evenings of the Spring and Fall.
The Detached Two Car Garage
The detached two car garage sure makes life that much easier during inclement weather and, with plenty of room for additional storage and your workbench, too!
