Year-round comfort is provided by central air, a propane furnace, back up electric baseboard heat, and an energy-efficient tankless water heater. Outdoor living is where this property truly stands apart. Double French doors from the garage open to a spacious brick patio with a Sunsetter awning and a permanent propane gas hookup for your grill.

Designed for gardeners and hobby farmers alike, the property features raised garden beds, mature thornless blackberry bushes, a protected strawberry enclosure, an 8' x 8' greenhouse, and mature apple, peach, pear, and cherry trees. A custom-converted Kloter Farms shed serves as a premium chicken coop with a large enclosed run and can easily be repurposed as a cattery, dog kennel, aviary, or potting shed. A second Kloter Farms shed provides additional storage. Electricity has been extended to both sheds and the greenhouse, with seasonal water available for the gardens and coop. Major exterior updates include low-maintenance vinyl siding, Harvey replacement windows, exterior doors, and an insulated garage door. Additional highlights include hot and cold outdoor water, RV parking, and 30- and 50-amp RV electrical service that can also be used to hook up an emergency generator. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and everyday amenities, this unique property offers the perfect blend of suburban comfort and backyard homesteading.
