You will enjoy the coziness of the large fireplace (gas or wood) on a cool evening or lounge by/splash in the inground pool on warm summer days (new liner Sept. 09, new loop lock winter cover 2009) and cook out on the large back deck. The back yard gets full sun and the pool stays a very comfortable temperature. You will enjoy watching the family of hummingbirds feed just outside the kitchen window. Quail come for feeding about dusk each evening. The back yard is entirely enclosed with chain link fencing and gates leading out to the woods where there is a nice walking/running trail, a quiet place to get away and read a book , listen to the birds (even had wild turkey) or hang a hammock and nap away the afternoon. The house is heated by either gas (central) or electric baseboard heat (individual thermostats each room). The warmest days are cooled with central air conditioning. Laminate and tile flooring throughout. Metal roof is 3 years old. Private well and septic. There is a 2-car carport with concrete flooring. Current owner has enclosed carport but will convert back to open carport if buyer wishes. Living in this cozy home is like being on vacation year round or would make a great summer home. Of course, you wouldn't want to miss being here when the leaves are turning....it is just too beautiful!
