Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 03, 2023
One-of-a-kind Tudor style home that sits in a picturesque park-like setting. This spacious home features 7 private bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with old world charm and style like no other. Your eyes will be in awe everywhere you turn with lots of natural light coming from all directions with the large windows and views of the garden, flowering dogwood and magnolia trees, and fishpond. The interior will captivate your senses with high ceilings and grand spaces like the living room with built-in fireplace and hardwood floors. If you need a home office, playroom, craft room, or a sports room there are plenty of spaces that can be used. This home has 3 full floors of joy and wonder just waiting for you to explore them. Some of the bonuses this beautiful home has to offer are efficient gas heat, built in gas backup generator, newer vinyl replacement windows, and a mini split AC unit upstairs. The second-floor bathroom was completely remodeled. The taxes were appealed recently and now have a low tax rate, another great benefit. If you enjoy sitting outside, you will love the side porch for quiet evenings or grilling out. There is so much beauty and enjoyment surrounding this home you must see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.
