What's special
There is pride of ownership throughout this well maintained home! Enter into the spacious living room with newer insulated bow window which allows for abundant natural light. New ductless mini split a/c units in the living room and two of the bedrooms keeps this home comfortably cool during the hot summer months. They also provide a heat pump heat source in the cooler months. This home also has an oil furnace. The kitchen and dining area are off the living room and all appliances remain for the new owner. There is an all seasons/Florida room off the kitchen that would also make a beautiful dining room. Down the hall you will find the large hall bath with a huge linen closet and plantation shutters. Three bedrooms complete the main level. Seller is certain that there are hardwood floors under carpet in the primary bedroom but not sure of the other two bedrooms. The finished lower level adds valuable living space. A dry bar area is perfect for entertaining and the large rec room with gorgeous brick fireplace and built in planters/fountain add interest. The previous owner was a mason and the wood burning fireplace can heat the entire home. A laundry room and storage/mechanical room complete the lower level. The back yard is home to a lovely patio area shaded by an absolutely gorgeous maple tree. The outdoor built in kitchen area is nothing short of impressive! The clam seafood boil pot fueled by a wood fire and outdoor grill area is like nothing I've seen! The shade from the maple tree will provide perfect cover for some great backyard get togethers! An efficient storm water drainage system, backyard garden shed and a single car garage complete this property. There is a park across the street with a playground, pavilions and a walking/running path. The adjacent creek is stocked with trout if you enjoy fishing! A definite must see!
