Description
This charming, generously proportioned home offers plenty of room for family and guests during summer vacations, holidays, and year-round living. As you enter, a magnificent stone fireplace takes center stage in the great room, which connects to a welcoming sun room. The sun room is perfect for reading, playing bridge, or indulging in afternoon naps, and has large windows that feature a fantastic view of Whiteside Mountain. The main level features three generous bedrooms, each with an en suite bath and walk-in closets, as well as a completely remodeled kitchen with a sliding glass door that opens onto a delightful front porch. Additionally, the kitchen harbors a hidden staircase that leads to the lower level, which includes a cozy family room with a stone fireplace, plus two bedrooms, each equipped with a full bath. The lower level can be accessed independently via its own entrance, making it ideal for renters or extended stays. It even boasts a covered terrace with views and yard access. On the upper level there is a spacious room with a full bath that would make a perfect artist's studio or a game room for children. A sizable walk-in attic provides plenty of storage space. The home also features a two-car garage and a substantial workshop space. The property is truly remarkable, complete with a koi pond and two acres where children can frolic and dogs can chase balls to their heart's content.
