This classic 2 story saltbox style home is not a foreclosure or short sale (Yay) and is anxiously waiting for new owners to make it their home. It was a rental home for the past four years but all the walls have been freshly painted and new carpet has been installed. Built in 2003, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath ( yes, there is one in the master bedroom) has a little over 2100 square feet finished on the main two floors. All the bedrooms are located on the upper level so there is no escaping the kids/roommates/pets/pesky teenagers or whatever else is lurking in your home. 

The entrance is especially large and inviting. The oversized windows fill the foyer with sunlight, even on cloudy days. You can’t see it in this photo (hey, I’m a good photographer but my camera doesn’t shoot through walls) but there is a main floor laundry across the hall from the garage service door. The right side of the main level has the kitchen and dinette that opens to the family room. The left side is the formal dining and living room. It’s a sweet set up because they are combined and could easily accommodate a thirty foot table for large gatherings. I’m not sure if I would actually want that many of my relatives (especially Cousin Robbie) over at one time, but it could be done in this home.

I admit to spending wayyy too much time in the kitchen, so this home really works for me. With plenty of counters to mess up and tons of cabinets to hide dirty utensils, this chef wannabe could do some real damage here. There’s plenty of elbow room and views of the sunset, so you should think about checking this one out.

And this is the view you’ll get while baking cookies or makin’ that bag lunch. It would probably look better with a table and chairs, but that’s where you come in. Or imagine a deck just sittin’ out there waiting for you to come home and open a cold one. Or even a warm one for that matter. I really don’t care what you drink, as long as you’re drinking it in your new home.

The family room is just a half wall away from the kitchen and has some great views of the pond. I don’t know about you, but I like to have others close by when I’m destroying a meal. Fire extinguishers are optional for my guests, but most everyone has one. This is a unique set up for most other two stories because the dinette is part of the kitchen instead of being a transitional area between the kitchen and family room.

But one of the best features of this home is that the walkout lower level is unfinished. There’s about 900 more square feet available for someone with vision, a skill saw and a couple of nails. Or ask my Dad to come over and help. He claims he could build an airplane out of chicken wire and duct tape, so I’m sure he could do wonders on a basement. Either way, it’s a great way to build additional equity in this wonderful home.
