    What's special

    This well maintained contemporary-style home offers a unique and inviting layout with approximately 1,200 sq feet of living space plus an additional 674 sq feet of finished space on the lower level. This 3-4 bedroom home is absolutely ready to move in with lots of recent updates. These include recent staining of the cedar siding, rebuilding of the decks, updated bathrooms, and lots of new flooring. A highlight of the main level is the sunken living room, filled with natural light and showcasing wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. There is also a cozy floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The kitchen and dining areas flow easily, making the home comfortable for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is super cute and has recently painted cabinets and tile floor. The dining area has a huge window to take in all the surrounding views as well. There are 3 spacious bedrooms on the main level. Some with cathedral and vaulted ceilings. The overall ceiling height is high and really creates an open feel. The lower level adds even more space with a finished family room, perfect for gatherings, movie nights, plus and extra bedroom or home office setup. Outdoors, you’ll find a two-tiered deck and a spacious 1.34-acre lot with room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful setting. The 2-car detached garage and abundant parking add to the convenience. This home has very economical taxes and utilities per the owner. There are two furnaces, central air in most of the house, and mini-splits that cover the rest. If you’re looking for a beautiful home with character, privacy, beautiful views, and plenty of space inside and out, 242 Dickinson Drive is the one to see! 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
