Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 12, 2024
RARE FIND!! This incredible one-of-a-kind craftsman style home that looks like a cottage in the heart of Walnut Hill, is situated on a corner lot with excellent elevation for privacy. The upgrades were all done while preserving the architectural integrity and era of this home! Featuring beautiful refinished "original" heart pine floors throughout the entire home, 12-foot ceilings on the main level, NEW vinyl replacement windows, and fresh paint throughout the interior and the entire exterior of the home!! The family room is large and has a wood-burning stove for those chilly evenings and is open to the dining room that flows right into the upgraded kitchen with its NEW white kitchen cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances. The fabulous front porch is wonderful to enjoy on those nice days with a good book. The back yard has alley access for private-off-street parking and access to the 1.5-car garage with power, workshop area, and upstairs storage accessible by a pull-down ladder. Private off-street parking and Fenced-In backyard!

    "People do not like kids, dog’s or cats in this neighborhood. Their are a few animal lovers like myself but then theirs so many complaints on the neighborhood app about them too. It’s very sad. And heaven only help if there’s snow on the ground and a family takes their children four wheeling or sledding through it. This neighborhood you need to be 65 or older to fit in. And no this is not coming from a home that drinks and parties. We have never had 1 party since we live here it’s not our thing and my husband and I don’t drink at all to we do not have rowdy behavior or expectations. Keep in mind I am only speaking of the neighborhood that I live in. I’m not sure about other neighborhoods out here. "
