This property is located in a residential area within just a few minutes' drive of a variety of awesome restaurants and shops as well as I-84 exits 10 and 11 and Route 34 - great commuting location! This spacious home features 9 ft ceilings, crown molding and hardwood floors throughout the main level. Just off the cozy family room is a main floor office - great for remote business dealings! There is access to the rear deck through both the family room and eat-in kitchen. Upstairs the master bedroom has a double-door entry, a full bathroom with soaking tub as well as shower, walk-in closet and a fireplace for cozy winter nights. There are three other spacious bedrooms on the upper level. Conveniently located second floor laundry room has a sink as well as washer and dryer hook-ups. The lower level is finished (although it is not heated) and in the past has been used as a "man cave" but could also be used as a spacious playroom. This lower level also has direct access to the rear driveway. The detached two-car garage has a huge untapped loft space - could be just storage or a game room or additional office space - loads of opportunity. The home is approached by a semi-circular, paved driveway and features professional stonework with storage shed.
