THIS HOME IS A MUST SEE TO BELIEVE! Talk about LOCATION AND LANDSCAPE! This adorable Cream Puff is located just south of the Geist Reservoir and directly north of Ft. Ben State Park in the Fall Creek Highlands close to Fall Creek and Indian Lake. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, this recently UPDATED and REMODELED(2012) Cottage Charmer was originally constructed in 1930. Well loved and maintained this home features an open floor plan, with large oversized picture-like windows (most newer-new) that provide the home with lots of natural light and allows one to take part in the breath-taking views of the 1.25 acre rolling wooded lot. In the past 5 years the property has been lovingly and carefully excavated and landscaped with new flowering shrubs, perennials, ground covers, and mulched garden areas. The river rock, which encompasses the perimeter, has been underlaid with heavy plastic so it is low to no maintenance. Grow your own salad greens, beans, tomatoes etc. in the raised garden bed with rich mushroom mulch garden soil. The newer installed patio in the courtyard (between the home and the garage) allows one to discover the cool breezes of the "open window" in the woods and invites you to pause and enjoy, or do some spring flower potting at the nearby garden bench. A pebble stone finished porch is a perfect cool spot to sit on this sunny side of the home before entering. Once inside you will find a newly built shelving and cubby wall with space for coats and shoes. No need to do a lot of painting here, most of it is fresh on the walls and some of the ceilings have been recently repainted. The spacious oversized Master bedroom and 2nd bedroom have plush ivory carpet, the gorgeous slate in the hallway leads to the original heavily grain-patterned hardwoods in living room and 3rd bedroom/office. A unique pebble stone flooring is in the kitchen and dining/sunroom, while the bathroom has a smooth textured blue slate floor. The kitchen and bath have the infamous IKEA cabinetry, while the kitchen offers butcher-block countertops and an oversized single bay antique-hammered copper sink and the bath features beautiful green-glass double sinks and a laundry area with energy efficient washer and dryer. The kitchen also offers 2 skylights on a vaulted ceiling with recessed energy efficient LED lighting AND fan lights placed throughout the home. A newer Lennox signature collection, energy efficient, quiet running HVAC system(2015) is SOLAR READY and has a state of the art multi-function WiFi thermostat with weather data, warrantee still active and transferable. The oversized 2 door garage is totally plumbed for a 2nd full bath and/or kitchen area for extra living space, workshop, workout room, man cave or business indevor etc. In Dec 2018 the entire garage was re roofed to match the home, as well as the entire back of home with added screened gutter guards installed on both house and garage, the transferable 25 year warrantee also active. Enjoy the warmth and glow of the newer installed open gas log fireplace and relax on the newly reconfigured deck out back which has brand new upgraded wood deck boards and top rails replaced late summer 2019 ready for staining in the dryer months to come. This deck space provides a shaded exposure but offers full sun for a few hours of the day to soak in that gorgeous sunshine! New BILCO hydraulic operated doors lead to the cellar which has been moisture-block painted and insulated. This is where you will find a great storage area for canning (or storing extra paint, stains, etc.) the well, sump pump, water heater and a newer Kinetico water filtration and softener system with reverse osmosis for drinking and ice maker in fridge. With so much more potential and many more possibilities to offer, this home is a must see! Make an appointment today and check it out!
