-- This home has several unique features that you will not find in your typical home. If you are a nature loving person, this home will appeal to you. Once you venture down the driveway you enter a nice, secluded area with nature all around. There isn't much yard to mow here and even though there are neighbors you get the feeling of isolation because of the location and proximity of this house. The lot size is 2.88 acres with plenty of trees and wildlife. The floor plan and layout is one that you will not find in many houses. It has three levels that offer basically three areas of living. The main level has an entrance door that is directly from the garage via a covered walkway. Once you enter the house you have the option to either go up a half flight of stairs to the main level, or down a half flight of stairs to the lower level with 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Two of these bedrooms have their own patio doors to the outside providing private entrance to each one. The main level also features a vaulted ceiling in the living/dining area with solid hardwood flooring, a floor to ceiling beautiful limestone wood burning fireplace, with a specially made firebox that will heat the whole house on those cold winter days. The limestone continues down into the lower level making for a nice stone wall in one of the lower bedrooms. Off the dining area you gain access to the large screened in porch for your summer days and nights of enjoyment of the outdoors. The kitchen is laid out with an island and plenty of cabinets. The countertops are clorian which makes for a nice working surface with a nice beautiful clean look. Next to the kitchen is the 4 seasons room with plenty of windows to let in the light. This can serve as an office, den or possibly another bedroom. This truly a nice and bright room. There is a half bath on the main level as well as a nice laundry room with plenty of closet space. There is also another entrance door from the outside through the laundry room for another nice convenience. Up a half flight of stairs off the main level you will find the private suite with its own full bathroom above the garage. This room provides guests with their own private space and you can access this suite two different ways. One from the house through a windowed walkway that connects from the house to the suite that gives you the feeling of separation from the main house, yet still not completely isolated.
