Exterior This home was built in 2002 and sits on 0.37 acres. Five trees are in the front yard, including two flowering crab trees. The back yard has a Honeycrisp apple tree and a pear tree plus three maple saplings. The back lot line is tree lined as well. The west and south side of the home are bordered with perennial flower beds and a circular perennial bed centers the large back yard and looks beautiful from the family dining area and kitchen window. Across the street is a park-like vista which extends down to the creek and to the fields beyond. The city maintains this park and provides a lovely view from the porch and living room. A wide driveway allows easy access to the three car garage and plenty of parking for company.
Come On In! Entering the home from the porch, a large hardwood floor entry way lighted by a chandelier fifteen feet overhead welcomes you. To your left is a half bath for guests and a coat closet. To your right is a spacious (15x16) living room. ahead and off to the right are the stairs to the second floor. Straight ahead is the entrance to the basement on the right and beyond that is the open floor plan of the first floor which includes the family room and family dining area (27x13). Just off the dining area is the etrance to the laundry which has its own closet and also serves as exit into the garage. The dining area features sliding glass doors opening onto the 12X12 deck and gives a great view of the large back yard and flower garden. The family room features a higher ceiling and a wood burning fireplace. The large window gives a different perspective on the backyard. To the right is the kitchen (10x11) with a centered island, lots of counter space and many cabinets including pantry. The formal dining room (15x11) has three windows facing the east and looking over the back yard. The formal dining room and the living room are connected via a double wide opening. Passing through the living room you return to the entry way.
The Upstairs Going up the flight of stairs to a landing and turning right, you are just three steps from the large and wide hall way. Straight ahead is a full bathroom with its own linen closet. To your right is a bedroom (11x12) with a large closet and a window facing east over the backyard. To your left is another bedroom, also with a large closet. Built in book shelves and a hidden chest under the window seat compliment this 13x12 bedroom which has a window facing west toward the park.
In the opposite direction down the hall, the third bedroom (11x11) is on your left and has a large closet and a window facing east over the backyard. On your right is the entrance to the master suite. The large bedroom (15x16) has a double window with arch facing west and also features a large walk in close and a separate linen closet. Past the closets you enter the bathroom with a double vanity, whirlpool, large shower, and recessed shelf over the door for a television (for those favorite shows that just happen to be on when you are in the whirlpool!). The two windows face east over the backyard.
The Basement and Garage The basement is accessed from the entryway. In the basement there is an unfinished room. Waste water hookups are installed for a future bathroom. The furnace is a Heil forced air and is very efficient. Two water heaters keep 90 gallons of hot water ready for the dishwasher, washing machine and multiple teenage showers. There are also a soft water system as well as a reverse osmosis water purification system. Two sump pumps and a tiled foundation keep the basement dry year round.
The garage is built for three cars, each with its separate door, and room left over for shelving and a work bench if you desire. There is access in the garage to attic storage. The northeast corner of the garage has a door which enters out onto the backyard.
Imagine Imagine it's a cold winter's night and you and the kids are cozy and warm by the fire watching a movie in the family room. Visualize hosting a gathering of friends and acquaintances for an outdoor barbecue on a pleasant summer's eve. Just picture having an intimate dinner with close friends in the formal dining room. You, your family and your guests will all agree that the home's quiet location on a dead end street, with the park view (it looks like a fairway), its sizable lot and the brick / vinyl front contemporary architecture more than fit the bill for "curb appeal." It will invite you home at the end of the day and welcome guests to a pleasant stay.
Wrap Up To sum it up, it is truly a great home, in a great community, a great school system, on a great lot, in a great location with great neighbors but without the great price you'd find for a comparable home in an unnamed twin city very near by!
