Description
Tired of looking at cookie cutter colonials? Craving a little more special and custom, but affordable? Then take a look at this smart and stylish contemporary split. The original owners designed a home that has not overlooked any details with 2x6 construction, 6 inches of insulation in the walls, 3 inches in the floors and 22 inches in the attic, and Pella insulated windows and sliders. And with the pellet stove in the living room you have lower heating bills.The floor plan is functional and fun with a fabulous living room with cedar ceilings, a chef's dream in the renovated kitchen with commercial-grade gas stove and stunning granite counters and the perfect family room with a fieldstone fireplace, surround-sound system, and wet bar. A spacious master suite with his and her closets, a full bathroom and a slider to private balcony. The best part of all is probably the yard and location. Set near the end of a cul-de-sac, this one acre lot is level, professionally landscaped and has great entertaining areas with a large trex deck and stone patios. A brand new driveway and a beautiful stone walkway lead you up to the large trex deck at the front of the house. You'll also love the workspace in the red Kloter Farm barn, complete with electricity and ceiling fan. Other features include a pre-wired connection for a generator, security system that includes fire and co-detector sensors and central air. It is a home that has been thoroughly and masterfully planned.
