Description

The scenic vistas, privacy and short walk to Wallis Sands beach make this oversized ranch a winner. Watch the birds, turkeys and other wildlife from every window as they light up the 1-acre lot. Tucked in behind a granite outcropping and set back from the road, this renovated ranch has a wonderful open floor plan that today's buyers are looking for. There are light wood cabinets in the kitchen with a center island, a desk area and a large pantry, along with a breakfast nook; the dining room is close...The scenic vistas, privacy and short walk to Wallis Sands beach make this oversized ranch a winner. Watch the birds, turkeys and other wildlife from every window as they light up the 1-acre lot. Tucked in behind a granite outcropping and set back from the road, this renovated ranch has a wonderful open floor plan that today's buyers are looking for. There are light wood cabinets in the kitchen with a center island, a desk area and a large pantry, along with a breakfast nook; the dining room is close by, with French doors to the back deck, which overlooks the pond and beautiful natural scenery. There is a dining/living room, plus an extra room with a half wall that opens to the dining/living area. Also on the main level: a master suite on the east side of the home with separate shower and soaking tub and a huge walk-in closet; and two bedrooms and a bath on the west side of the home, with the living spaces in between. There is a staircase to an unfinished attic space that could be completed into an upper level finished space. The basement is partially finished, the finished area with a flagstone floor and propane fireplace. The basement is mostly above grade and has large windows, bringing in lots of natural light. The 2-car garage is accessed through the basement with a staircase to the main level close by. The exterior was recently painted, all the exterior trim is Azek, making for low maintenance. Walk to the beach, just a half mile away!
