    What's special

    "I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THAT HOUSE!!" If you've driven Porter Street you've seen this house and said those words! Lovingly cared for and maintained by the same owners for 28 years, this house is waiting for you to make it home. Set back from the road on an oversized lot, the wrap around farmer's porch leads you into the foyer where beautiful hardwood floors, tons of natural light and an open, airy layout take you through the living and dining rooms and into the kitchen and den. Special highlights include beamed ceilings, charming gas-fueled fireplace, Dutch door leading to the farmer's porch from the eat-in kitchen with its granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a great view of the huge backyard & Bellevue golf course. Perfect for gatherings & entertaining! A half bath completes the 1st floor. Two stairways to the 2nd floor bring you to a large foyer and 5 - yes 5 - bedrooms and 2 full baths! The location and curb appeal are bar none!! These gems don't come on the market often!
