SELLERS never intended to move...so what does that mean? A lot of extras and personal touches in this well-loved home! This Brick front ranch, maintenance-free exterior, oversized 1-car garage with 3 BRs and 2 BAs, has Old and New World charm. Located in USDA area...1-acre, non-development lot means your TOYS (boat/motorhome, etc.) are arms-length at home with you. This home is conveniently located with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and a short drive to Route 1 North or South. In addition, it has well drinking water and Kent Co. public sewer. Upon entering the FOYER w/HWD floors (also found in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hall, main bath, and secondary BRs), you see wainscoting & chair rail accents. As you enter the LIVING ROOM, you have cathedral ceilings, recessed lights PLUS a feature wall where the space was repurposed to become a unique custom-built bookshelf/bookcase with the mantle in the middle for displaying photos or candles. The DINING ROOM features a vaulted ceiling and high shelf that currently is used to display plants. From the dining room, thru the Andersen patio door, you exit to the 748 sq. ft. multi-level deck. Both the LR & DR have OVERSIZED windows that give a great view of the large PRIVATE tree-lined, fenced rear yard. The updated/upgraded KITCHEN features tons of maple cabinets w/under-cabinet lighting, large deep sink, accentuated by a goose-neck faucet w/spray feature, and a garbage disposal. Well-appointed in the kitchen is an electric smooth top range w/self-cleaning oven and a low-profile microwave above the range with lighting and exhaust fan that vents directly outside. The side-by-side fridge has ice and water available in the door, as well as a water dispensing system in the door...all appliances are upgraded Whirlpool Gold appliances. Recessed lights with dimmer, cable outlet, ample counter space, breakfast bar to accommodate 2 stools, custom tile back splash & bead board ceiling add to the beauty & utility of the kitchen. Off the kitchen is a massive LAUNDRY ROOM/PANTRY equipped with lots of cabinets, hideaway ironing board, and utility closet which allows access to change the heater filters and to the electric hot water heater. The MASTER BEDROOM is adorned with tray ceiling, recessed lights (w/dimmer), a walk-in closet, Andersen patio door that leads to the deck, hot tub & rear fenced yard. The MASTER BATHROOM is SPECTACULAR... featuring custom antique vanity with vessel sink, accented marble and travertine tile floor, a 5x6 ft. CUSTOM TILE SHOWER with a built-in sitting bench. The shower also has ceiling lights, with a vent fan and heater combo. This shower is luxuriously HUGE and is a feature you would normally find in million dollar homes! Other amenities found in the hall bath and secondary bedrooms include a second custom antique vanity/sink, wainscoting, chair rail, display shelves, bead board accents, six-panel doors and crown molding. Ceiling fans abound throughout the home in the Living Room, Dining Room, Master Bedroom and Bedroom #2 PLUS the garage. The massive multi-level rear desk has a 6-person hot tub that is included in the sale of this home. The oversized 1-car garage has pulldown attic access for more storage, utility tub w/hot & cold water, additional cabinets for storage and a side service door for entering the garage when you don't want to use the garage door opener. In the rear yard you will find a custom-built Potting Shed (with a potting bench and other elements from a 100-year-old Amish barn), in addition to the normal storage shed. The new Husqvarna lawn tractor ( 2020) is included as well as a lawn dump trailer, and lawn sweeper. Even after you look at the pictures several times...you MUST visit to see more reasons why you should make this... Your new home!
