About this House

Large and in Charge! This spectacular 4-5 bedroom home has been renovated with modern updates in recent years! Electrical, plumbing, refinished hardwood flooring, travertine tile, fixtures, updated windows..just to name a few! The windows allow for an abundance of natural light to show off the beamed ceilings. A shout out to the kitchen designer for adding the multitude of cabinets and the tall breakfast bar/island with an appealing contrast by using black granite countertops! ( The appliances will stay too) Main level has a newer half bathroom in a room that was most recently used as an office, but could be a bedroom or main level laundry room as the hook-ups are still there. Master bedroom has a private ensuite. Great corner lot with room for a future garage. Very lovely home and each room has its own unique charm.

    "I have lived in the area for 5 years and I love that literally EVERYTHIMG is a short walk or drive away. It has warm small town feel with the benifit of all of the larger town and city stores, restaurants and entertainment. Great place to retire or raise a family and the cost of living is far less compared to other areas. "

    " I've lived in the area most of my life, hope to retire to Peru. I only wish the city fathers would take pedestrians and bicycles into account. Not many sidewalks, NO bike paths, and pets are not allowed in parks, except for the Dog Park, which is just a small fenced in area. If you want to walk to the mall or shopping area, you are putting your life in the hands of hurried drivers. It is nearly impossible to cross Rt. 251. On the good side, you could live your entire life here and never have to leave town. It really is a full service community, you just have to use your car to get around."
