Description

LET 'EM RUN!! Come see this great family home that comes with lots of acreage, a chicken coop, a full RV set-up and the neatest tree house in the county! Plus, there's 1440 sf of garage space for the ardent tinkerer with lots of storage for your tools and toys. As you walk up onto the covered front porch, picture yourself enjoying your morning coffee gazing at the mature oaks casting dappled sunlight across the yard. As you step inside, you will be amazed at the size of the great room! There is an unobstructed view from the large comfortable living room, through the dining room with family sized table right to the kitchen. The family will always be within view. The living room has a beautiful inset trey ceiling plus a permanent, vented, kerosene stove that keeps the temperature even year-round. The dining room floor is handsome and unique. It's hardwood maple flooring that was reclaimed from a high school gym that was being replaced. It just might last forever! There's enough space in this dining room for your dinner parties as well as serving the entire extended family during the holidays. The dining room joins the kitchen with a breakfast bar that is part of a large two-level island that holds the electric range. There's granite tiled prep space galore with plenty of room for more than one cook and even a desk area that acts as the family information hub. Next to the dining room a flight of stairs goes down to the lower level where there is a very large game, play, TV room that will hold a crowd. It also has a second permanent kerosene stove to keep the area toasty in the winter. There are two large sized bedrooms separated by a full bath off of the hallway from the dining room. Both bedrooms are good sized with large closets. The bath has tons of storage with a separate shower - perfect for the kids. Off the kitchen is a second hallway that leads to a third bedroom, an extremely large laundry, utility room and a complete guest bath with tub/shower and storage for linens. Continue down the hallway to the master suite. The en-suite contains a walk-in closet, dressing area, a great soaking tub, double sinks and a large shower. The bedroom is good sized with a sitting area and French door access to the deck. No description of this house would be complete without talking about the garage and surrounding yards. The garage is massive with an extra-deep two car bay that has workbench areas, shelving and storage space galore with loft areas. The third bay has a very high ceiling to hold cranes or lifts for working on cars or other projects, and is deep enough to hold two cars in tandem. There is plenty of space for the family's quads, boats, motorbikes and whatever other toys you can imagine. Next, step outside the garage to access the most amazing tree house constructed around a towering oak in the front yard! The main room holds built-in bunk beds for summer sleep-outs. It also has climbing ropes, a slide and other fun stuff. And don't forget the chicken run and coop with chickens that can be purchased if you wish to carry on the practice of fresh eggs available at any time. The house is situated on a hillside with its 5 acres unfolding below. There's a driveway beside the house that leads to an area below that holds a 40 ft storage container and a full RV setup including septic, electric, phone and water. The expansive views from the deck look out towards Columbia and New Melones. While the property is quiet and private, it's only 15 minutes to town and very near Columbia College. All in all, this is a totally kid-friendly environment with a spacious, more recently constructed, family home. Come see for yourself. It's worth the short drive up the hill - you may just find paradise!! Sorry, there will be NO showings on Saturdays.
