Down a long dirt driveway this unique passive solar home is set on over 5 ACRES that takes advantage of the shade in the summer and the sun in the winter. Brand-new stainless-steel appliances, Speed Queen washer & dryer, elves (licensed contractors,) have recently refinished the wood floors upstairs, installed new kitchen countertops & took down 4 trees. The wood stove near the kitchen heats most of the home and there's also a floor to ceiling stone fireplace that separates the dining & living rooms. The roof is approx 16 years old with 50-year shingles and was just soft washed. Fresh interior paint. There is an oversized 3 car attached garage (approx 35'x23') and a 1 car detached garage for car lovers, contractors, hobbyists, etc. The inground pool instantly boosted our popularity amongst family & friends. The primary bedroom has a sitting area, 2 closets, (one being a walk-in,) and also has an unfinished room over the garage for future expansion if desired. The other 2 bedrooms are nicely sized and there's another room (the navy blue one,) that could be used for guests, an office, a 2nd living room, etc. Please note that this home has spots of rotten siding, original windows & doors, older deck & balconies There is only a tub in the upstairs full bathroom (NO shower) There is privacy but not complete seclusion.
