There have been 507 months since July 17th, 1981. That's 15,426 days. 370,224 hours, and a whopping 22,213,440 minutes. That's how long it's been since the owners of 1720 McDonough bought this home. In that time they have raised three incredible children. Sent them off to college. Watched as they got married to the loves of their lives. Welcomed grandchildren. Worked entire careers. Retired. Experienced incredible joy, and profound loss. But the one thing that remained constant was home. The bedrock upon which entire lives are lived. The place they could always go back to when they needed to feel the closeness and love that permeated each and every one of those 22,213,440 minutes. That's what 1720 McDonough Ave. can mean for the next lucky owner. A bedrock upon which a life can be built.With updates throughout, and cozy spaces on each of the three finished levels, 1720 McDonough lives bigger than it's square footage. The front door opens to an inviting living room with pristine hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and high ceilings. This leads to a large kitchen with eat-in space and room for an island or large table. This floor also contains a large half bath, and a flexible room that could be a bedroom, but is currently used as storage. Upstairs the master bedroom includes a pass-thru room that could make a big closet, a home office, a nursery, or a 4th bedroom. Another bedroom and a totally updated full bath rounds out the second floor.And you'll be sure to fall in love with the comfy lower level space divided into two areas; the perfect rec room/family room/gym, let your imagination guide you! Outside offers all the amenities you'd expect from such a well loved home, including a multi-tiered deck, a screened in porch, an above-ground pool, a storage shed, and more. It's true that the days are long but the years are short. 22,213,440 minutes also = The Blink Of An Eye, and if you blink, you could miss it.
