The minute you drive onto this property it feels more like a retreat rather than a home, but.... this is YOUR home! A 1 family Raised Ranch with a legal in-law apartment downstairs. The front walk guides you onto the front porch into the Great Room with a gas fireplace (with thermostatic remote control) AND Jotul wood stove with a 'winter grill' for emergency cooking. The large bay window displays a beautiful view of the tree lined yard. Real oak hardwood floors (no imitation wood here!) and porcelain tiles throughout the house, SS appliances, 3 full baths and 1 half bath (w laundry) off the mudroom that has access to the garage and rear covered porch. The house is heated with forced hot air (Nat gas) and has central A/C all filtered thru an Aprilaire electrostatic filtration system. Climate is controlled by the top-of-line learning Nest thermostat giving designated occupants remote control capability. You left for vacation and forgot to turn the heat down or AC off? No worries!! It also knows when you leave and return (via connected phones) and will adjust temps automatically. Excellent money saving feature, although the wood stove removes those high gas prices completely! Pay almost no heating gas bills! The lower level includes a full legal apt with kitchen, bathroom w easy access shower, BR, LR and office (802sf total). Apt is accessible from the garage or a spiral staircase from upstairs. Downstairs also has another separate office/salon/sitting room (276sf) with it's own separate heat/thermostat and storage space. The balance of the basement has heat and AC with finished walls and ceiling (576sf). The family visionary might add another BR or two? Man (woman?) cave? Lastly, the basement has another small storage room which hosts the central vacuum system built into both levels of the home. There are 2 exits for egress, and the apartment is legal with the town, considered a "single family with in-law apartment". The house has an attached 2 car garage (572sf), as well as an additional detached over sized 2 car garage or year round workshop (775sf) with separate forced hot air heat, electric (50A service) and a 2 post Bendpak Lift. Outside, the house has a rear screened/covered back porch connected to an open back porch (accessible thru French doors) with a private 6 person Marquis E660 Hot Tub. The front porch is partially covered and open. The house roof was replaced (45 square) 6 years ago with Owens Corning architectural shingles that has a transferable lifetime warranty ($100). I have paperwork for the transfer. There are TWO unobtrusive sheds. One is 5 years old and very large at 12'x24'. The other is a smaller garden shed with a new roof installed last fall. A 450sf garden surrounded by an electric fence and under-soil root watering system makes for easy maintenance. Approximately 4 of the 6 acres are tall straight fully matured hard wood trees, so using the Jotul woodstove for heat (and cooking with the winter grill if you want?) avoids the high gas prices (or any gas prices at all) during the winter using your own wood supply as fuel. The wood stove is sized accordingly for this house and will heat the entire 1st floor even when temps reach below 0. The house has 400A electric service. Yes, you read that correct, there are TWO main service panels at 200A each. City water but have a drilled well (not used) on property also. Septic system cuts water bill in half. Total taxes are approx $12k/yr, Insurance is approx $1,200. Extra's staying with the house detached garage is a 5500 watt generator, a large floor standing compressor with retractable air hose reel (some air tools), and the Bendpak 2 post lift. Showings will begin scheduling next week and more photos plus video tours forthcoming. If you are a serious buyer, come see the house before the MLS listing for the additional savings.
