Also downstairs is the spacious Kitchen with upgraded appliances (GE 5 burner cooktop, double wall-oven, dishwasher, and side by side refrigerator- all included with the home), wood cabinets, and large eat-in area. Off the kitchen is a Keeping Room with a double-sided fireplace and french doors which lead into Game Room where the other side of the fireplace can be enjoyed. The Game Room has a tray ceiling, built-in shelving, sink with Silestone counter, and a 60" projection television which will be included with the purchase of the home. A Guest Bedroom and full Guest Bath are conveniently located on the first floor as well as a Half Bath and a Mudroom/Laundry Room. Three Bedrooms, two full Bathrooms, a Sitting Room, and a 12x21 Bonus Room make up the upstairs. The bonus room is currently being used as an upstairs Game Room, but could easily be converted into a large 6th Bedroom (it already has a closet!), or made into the IDEAL Theater Room!

Kitchen, Master, Dining Room, Game Room, and Keeping Room have crown molding and entire house has 5 1/4 base and quarter round.

All plumbing, electrical, mechanical, paint, cabinets, appliances, flooring, counter tops, etc. are upgraded. This home was built for family and friends. It is impressive and breathtaking, yet warm, inviting and family friendly. You really must see this home to appreciate its unique charm! This home was listed by owner on MLS for $740,000 AND HAS JUST BEEN REDUCED TO $699,000!!!!  If the buyer is represented by an agent, 3% will go to the buyers agent.  $699,000 is our asking price, but there is a little flexibility built into that price.  All reasonable offers will be considered.  We will stay in this home if it doesn’t sell. However, we have put a deposit on a place close to several family members who live about 40 minutes from us and would love to live closer to them, but our contract is contingent on the sale of our home. We hope that someone is looking for the perfect home and that everything will work out if it is meant to be!
