Main-floor-living includes a natural gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, ceramic tile, carpet, thermal windows and french doors, 5 lighted Concord ceiling fans, oak Merillat kitchen cabinets with built-in microwave oven, laundry room, mud entry, and beautiful oak woodwork throughout. All appliances included. For growing families, another 1600 square feet of living space may be added by finishing the 13-block full/dry basement. Large patio deck and gorgeous professional landscaping with circle drive offers pleasing curb-appeal. Plus - a three-car attached garage protects all your toys!
