Motivated Sellers, great new price! Rarely available, non-development, custom home on a beautiful .66 acre fenced lot. Lovingly and thoughtfully renovated throughout. Available due to a job relocation. You will be only the third owner of this special property. Open floor plan, large bedrooms, finished lower area with separate exterior entrance. Unfinished basement area has laundry, lots of storage, Bilco entrance and separate storage/utility room. The custom kitchen kitchen boasts tiled backsplash (to the ceiling), butcher block tops and a high end Samsung appliance package. The lower level is an open plan and features it's own covered entrance if an in-law suite is needed. There is a large, detached garage/shop and the property comes with plenty of parking. The current owners have a tiled wash station in the lower level for their pets which could easily be converted to a full bath. So many thoughtful touches throughout including ceiling fans, recessed lighting and more! Put it on your radar then put it on your calendar. Don't miss out!
