This is a remarkable opportunity to own a beautiful, fully renovated home on a 1.64 acre lot providing a high elevation off the road in a pristine rural setting. The majority of the lot is fenced and includes a detached, oversized one car garage (24' x 14'), fenced garden area (36' x 21') and a 16' x 10' storage shed with 2 skylights! The grounds are impressive and provide a pastoral view of the countryside, but the inside of the house is equally appealing! This immaculate home offers recessed lighting and ceiling fans in multiple locations, a first floor BR, full bathrooms on both levels, hardwood, tile, and LVP flooring, and a large basement. The Kitchen is a dream with quality granite countertops, tile backspash, ample Shaker cabinets with soft close doors and drawers plus Whirlpool stainless steel appliances (smooth top self-cleaning electric range, microwave over the range with exhaust fan vented outside, dishwasher, and refrigerator). The sunken Primary BR is a nice architectural application, and the other BR on the second floor has its own Powder Room! You will appreciate the custom oak turned staircase and the granite vanity and large scale tile floor in the second floor Bathroom. The wood stove is currently used as the primary source of heat for the house, and the ready-to burn wood stored in the Woodshed is included. There is an oil hot air heating system and central air conditioning, of course. Your comfort is assured as the house is protected by a Guardian by Generac 17kw propane powered, whole house generator! Dual pane, insulated replacement windows add to the comfort factor! Too many details to list. Come see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
