Established in 1952 by a small group of Engineers employed at DuPont who purchased the single tract land to provide building lots for their families. This is by far the cleanest home I've ever been in! Absolutely pristine and lovingly cared for over the years. Classic brick front 4 bedroom center-hall Colonial w/ a side load 2 car garage on a gorgeous 3/4 acre professionally landscaped lot. There are beautiful hardwoods throughout the entire home, both levels and you have your traditional Living/Dining and Family rooms. Beautiful Cherry Kitchen w/ quartz counters and a custom built storage center. The Kitchen has access to the tiled screened porch which over-looks the private lush backyard, full of mature plants, bushes and flowers. The paneled Family room has a wood-burning fireplace and also has access to the porch. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and a remodeled hall bath to share, and the Master bedroom has 2 closets as well as a remodeled Full bath. The walk-out basement is semi-finished and has lots of natural light as well as a nice sized storage area. Other notable features include a Hot Tub, new electrical panel, new lighting fixtures, a walk-up attic, new shed, fencing, first floor laundry, new water heater and replacement windows. When you walk in, you'll know you're home! Please note the Public Tax Records reflect a 0.56 acre lot. Attached to the Sellers Disclosures is a survey which was completed when the home was built in 1974 stating the lot size is in fact 0.72 of an acre. A brand new septic system is being designed and will also be installed.
