Simply stunning curb appeal--the sweetest porch. Owners love to decorate for the seasons. Everything and everyone kept safe under the metal roof installed over the home and garage in 2019. So much to tell you but let's start with the flow of light through the home. Follow the sun in every way throughout this home. Front and back enclosed porches--even a 12 X 30 deck. The kitchen is perfectly BRIGHT morning to dusk. Then extremely well-lit when needed. You can pick a picture window family room or the cozier living room. (Sidenote: former owners used the family room for a bedroom. This house was previously listed as a four bedroom--two up, two down.) Keep your mind open to the possibilities/uses that would make this home perfect for you. Go to the pictures of front porch entrance. This is one of the owner's favorite spots nearly all year long. Love a front porch swing? Me too! Breakfast, lunch or dinner in both porches. But! There are a formal dining room and eat-in kitchen. Kitchen space is so big that the attached dining room could be for any used you fancy. Don't let what rooms are labeled overshadow your creativity. Take the 3D tour to scan almost 30 linear feet of cupboards and countertops. All the appliances and the on-demand water softener remain. Main floor bedroom is 12 X 13. Upper bedrooms are 13 X 15 and 13 X 12. The upstairs landing is 10 X 10. Closets and storage for SO much. The laundry room has space to move around, fold and hang items. Floor plans are attached to this listing. 26 X 40 three car garage with utilities and storage. Shed and garden area for all the green thumbs (definitely not me). Come see this HOME. It's a great place to simply be. $233,400 Pending
