PRICE REDUCED!!
????Very, very motivated seller!????Come check out this move-in ready house and make an offer before it's too late! I'm still flexible UNTIL I have to list with an agent in the coming weeks!! TONS of upgrades and features set this house apart from all the others. You will not be disappointed. We absolutely LOVE our house, but things are moving faster than we expected on our next place in the country. This one needs a new family to enjoy everything about it like we still do! The last picture is what we started with in 2007. We raised our kids here, and have fixed it up nonstop since the very same day we bought it! Over $100,000 invested in it over 19 years, and it is literally move-in ready! 4 bedroom, 2 bath, big laundry room and utility closet. The house sits on 1 1/2 lots. Large backyard thats perfect for privacy/entertainment as well as room for kids/fur babies. This was a 5 bedroom home before we made one of them the big laundry room, but there is still plenty of space to make it double as a guest bedroom. It still has a closet and hvac. Custom oak hardwood kitchen countertops with bartop epoxy, matching table and barstools, huge standup refiridgerator and huge standup freezer. They are 2 separate big pieces. Newer dishwasher, stove, hvac, steel doors, 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts, whole house fan, aluminum clad windows, including a huge picture window that overlooks the entire fenced in backyard, metal roof, siding, 100 gallon water heater that also heats on demand and never runs out, 200 amp electric svc, and every inch of wire and switch/outlet is new, continuous whole house laminate (no threshoods to break or trip over). Carpet in the living room, custom cut tile in the front and rear entries, and tile floors in the bathrooms. Tile tub surrounds all the way to the ceiling with recesses in the showers and Kohler faucets in the tile. Granite vanity, and a solid surface vanity. Main bathroom has a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub with an in-line heater. All new pvc drains all the way out to the road, all new pex throughout the entire house as well as using all brass pex T's and elbows, privacy fence with 3 hidden gates, front and back patios, hot/cold faucets on the front and back of the house, tile floors and much, much, more. 16 x 28 detached garage is large enough to park a suburban in, and still have a descent workspace in front of it, wifi garage door opener, insulated and wired with 100 amp service and three 220v outlets already in use for my welder, air compressor and heater with plenty of open circuits still. Also has Cat6 and coax in separate conduit for even more office/mancave tv options. Also wired for a surround sound currently, and has a mount I built for a projector on the ceiling to watch movies from. 12 x 24 shed with 2 sets of doors and ramps, full loft, and 30 amp service with lights in top and bottom. The house, garage and shed all have the same in-stock siding from Menards, and the same burnished slate metal roof from Graber Post in Sullivan. The shed was painted to match the siding. Alley access with extra parking in the back. We are on a side-road that pretty much only sees the neighbors as traffic. Quiet, established neighborhood. All kitchen appliances stay, and the washer/dryer are negotiable. They were new in May '24.
