The home is sited back from the road allowing space and safety for pets, kidz, and recreation. You are welcomed to the property by a rocking chair covered porch which leads into the vaulted ceiling foyer with the inviting sun filled living room on the left. Also accessed from the foyer is the master bedroom suite with 2 walk-in closets, and built-in cedar-lined window seat. Adjoining is the master/hall bath, with a stall shower and large soaking tub. The 35 handle oak cabinets provide ample storage in the country kitchen with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beam, and skylight. The refrigerator and gas stove were replaced in 2012. Open to the kitchen is a cozy room with a stone floor- to- ceiling wood burning fireplace for informal dining or the perfect place to relax while chatting with the cook. Adjacent to this is the formal dining room with a lovely brass chandelier, interesting architectural details such as arched open cutouts in two walls and exposed beam ceiling. From the attached 2 car garage you enter into the mudroom/ laundry with built-in cabinets and sink. This level of the house could be one-floor living. Entertain family and friends on the expansive covered deck (22.3 x 13.3) with new maintenance free vinyl railing and flooring. Treat yourself to spectacular seasonal views, spotting the bald eagle soaring or watching colorful hot air balloons float by. Life is good! On to the lower level, you will find 3 bedrooms with good sized closets, a full bath with new tile (2013), an open office space with storage closet, a large family room with French doors opening to a fantastic brick patio (21 x 26) providing even more outside entertaining space. This level offers versatile use as ideal in-law quarters (by adding a kitchen), multi-generational, or private space for your guests. Superior Walls further attests to the excellent construction. With attention to energy conservation, the home was built with passive solar heat, as well as the present owner's installation of efficient and cost-effective Geo-Thermal Heating System. Turn the key and enjoy your neutrally decorated, pristine home, where all the carpets and tile have been replaced ? all the dirty work has been done! See Documents for List of Improvements
