Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from October 26, 2023
This is the cream puff for which you have been waiting!!! Having had only 2 owners, this all brick, solidly-built house has been meticulously maintained and updated, and chocked full of sooo many extras and goodies that won't be found in other properties. Recent heat pump, thermal windows, and roof. Original hardwood floors flow throughout the house in all but the bathrooms. Built-in bookcases flank the brick wood-burning fireplace. The woodstove can heat the house and can either stay or go - buyer's choice. This sun-drenched home offers large rooms, plenty of extra-deep closets, super-sized kitchen with pantry and laundry room, oversized garage with lots of storage, rear parking area and double width paved driveway, extra large lot, THREE outbuildings, mature landscaping, and a large vegetable garden. All appliances stay (wall oven is brand new), even the refrigerator in the garage. This property backs to deep woods and a creek, offering tons of privacy and peace and quiet, and can be enjoyed from the great deck, which is right off of the kitchen. Too many items to list here. This home has been pre-inspected and all items addressed. Come Quickly! Welcome Home!
