Firstly, do not pay any attention to the pricing review for this property.  It is not based on MLS market value but on the tax evaluation.  The upstairs of this house is 7'10" tall so it is not considered taxable living space.  That is approximately 1200 SF of living space not included in FSBO's formula for property evaluation.   First and foremost, the energetic spiritual feel of this house is extraordinary.  Each room in the house feels open, positive and free of any negativity.  This is a 1939 Cape Cod on a double lot (.98 acres) with approximately131 feet of road frontage and a depth of 430 feet. It was well designedand well built. The floor joists in the dining/living room front thirdof the house are red oak, 12 inches on center. They don't make them like this anymore folks.  The first level of the house(2121.6 SF) has solid oak wood flooring except for the kitchen and bathrooms.The second floor (1243.9 SF) has wood flooring for the family room andbeige carpet in the two bedrooms. There are three full bathrooms: twodownstairs (one with tub;one with shower); one remodeled upstairs withshower. Though the heat for the house is hot air via an oilfurnace, there is a large hidden propane tank which provides heat forthe clothes dryer, kitchen stove and hot water heater which is instantand on demand. All of the rooms in the house are graciously proportioned (example:living room is 17X25) with the exception of the remodeled attic (10X12) whichcurrently serves as a small office. The house sits on the lot moretowards the front. The lot has a 10 foot tall privacy hedge of LeylandCypress parallel to the road. Interior walls are plaster so the houseis very quiet. There is both a newly updated side porch overlooking a privatelandscaped side lawn and a large (41X12) rear deck overlooking the backyard which faces south. The garage is detached and can house two vehicles.  The rear of the lot is both private and sunny given thatit sits on the top of a gentle hill. The house is 2.5 blocks from 67acre Beaver Lake where neighbors jog, walk, fish and canoe. Though the housefeels like it is in the country, it is exactly 6 minutes from downtownvia highway 19-23. The grounds around the house have landscaped stonesplaced by a master Japanese gardener from Kyoto. There are seven youngfruit trees (cherry, apple, plum and pear) in the backyard plus twoorganic garden areas for growing vegetables. There are two hiddenstorage areas on either side of the upstairs rear bedroom in addition to the basement which is 2100 SF with concrete/brick walls and concrete floor. Ibought the house for the country feel of the kitchen which has twonooks. This is a very special property for a very fortunate buyer.Ideal for a family with kids.  This house is in great shape and is being sold "as is".Additional property info: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/A71A8?provider_id=28079
