This 4 bedroom 2 ½ bath ranch style home is situated on a wooded 1+ acre lot and features "steel I beam” construction with a full brick exterior. The front circular driveway and the expansive paved parking in the rear offer the ultimate in convenience. There are 2 garages. The attached garage is a rear entry and can easily accommodate 3 cars. The second garage is a detached 1 car masonry building with overhead door and a separate work shop/storage space. There are also 2 wood burning fireplaces; one in the living room and another is in the basement. The basement is a blank slate of 1500 square feet waiting to be finished to a new owners liking.
And speaking of two’s, the floor plan is very well designed with 2 master bedrooms in separate wings. One suite includes a full bath on the left side of the house while the second EnSite has a half bath on the right side of the house. An addition to the original house allows for 2 more bedrooms plus a den/office and a full bathroom to the right. All four of the bedrooms have extra large closets with double deep hanging facilities. A separate exterior entrance to the addition provides many possibilities for multi generational living, a private office or other uses bounded only by your needs and creativity.
The front entrance is directly into the sun filled living room with a bay window and one of the fireplaces. Immediately to the rear of the living room is a large kitchen that can accommodate a full size dining room set. The openness of the living room and kitchen underscores the thoughtfulness that went into the floor plan as it provides for an excellent entertaining experience.
The kitchen can also be accessed from a rear door with covered porch and a few steps from the attached garage. There are an abundance of custom cabinets that are original to the home. A unique curved counter mirrored by the same shape in the ceiling are a 1960’s flashback. While the kitchen can be considered “dated” the quality of the cabinets may lend themselves to a refresh and the addition of granite or other solid surface counter tops and an updated sink. For those who want to go completely new there is adequate space for a design build kitchen of your choice.
Immediately adjoining the kitchen is an enclosed breezeway with a separate entrance. This room is fully enclosed and heated. Although not air conditioned it is the full depth of the house and has a sliding patio door at the front as well as the back of the house for maximum air circulation. Once again the design favoring entertaining and access to the rear yard with its view of the wooded area and the original brick barbeque is evident.
Some of the less obvious but yet important aspects of this home include; a quiet lane, newer roof, newer central air conditioning, hardwood floors, 4 zone baseboard heat, in basement oil tank, rough in for a toilet in the basement, natural gas already at the basement wall, pocket doors, expansive storage accessible above the garage, lighted driveway pillars and numerous trees.
