You will be amazed at the value of this home if you have expensive tastes but don't want to spend $200,000! Read on to see the touches that have been added to this house to make it your next home. The inviting front porch is surrounded with tasteful landscaping. As you step inside the home through the new glass-insert front door, your feet hit the tiled entry. The first thing that you notice is the corner gas fireplace. It has a tile surround and white mantle that are beautiful when decorated for the holidays. It is amazing how this efficient little fireplace can heat the whole house as it is located so near the staircase. We have even found that it is the same cost or cheaper to run the fireplace in the winter as the furnace doesn't need to kick on hardly at all. The living room has three windows for lots of natural light, as well as a lighted ceiling fan. The newer carpet shows little to no wear. As you move on into the home, the huge dining room is the next thing that you come to. It is a beautiful light-filled room with a sliding glass door leading to the deck and backyard. The newer walnut-look laminate floor and dark chandelier bring a warm touch to the house. The three-person bar divides the dining room from the kitchen, great for entertaining. The kitchen boasts newer Aristokraft dark stained hickory cabinets with crown molding. The granite tile countertops and backsplash are a luxurious touch that you don't often see in a home in this price range. All the stainless steel appliances were bought in 2009 and make this kitchen shine. There is a pantry for even more storage, new light fixtures, and a tile floor that flows into the laundry area. A window over the corner sink overlooks the backyard. The laundry area is near the garage entry and has hanging and storage space. It is located just beside a half bathroom with a pedestal sink and new brushed nickel lights and fixtures. As you go upstairs you will notice the white banister which gives the downstairs a very open feeling. There is very little wasted space upstairs as all of the bedrooms flow off of a central landing. The master bedroom measures has two windows and a ceiling fan. The vaulted ceiling makes it feel even bigger. There is a walk-in closet with several feet of hanging space. The large master bathroom has tiled floors and a garden tub with tile surround and curved shower rod. All the updated fixtures are a new brushed nickel finish. You will be surprised at the size of the rest of the bedrooms as well. The second bedroom is huge with a large closet and two extra-wide windows. A built-in raised cubby can be reached by children with a kid-sized ladder. It can be used for storage, but our three-year-old thinks he has the coolest bed in the world! The room currently has dinosaur tracks running all over the walls with matching curtains and also has a ceiling fan. The large third bedroom has two windows, a ceiling fan, and a big closet. It is currently painted sky blue with brushed clouds. This is one light and airy room! The fourth bedroom also has two windows, a ceiling fan, and a closet. It has a nice view of the pond and the backyard. The neutral paint color matches the rest of the house. A just-right hall closet and bathroom round out the upstairs. The bathroom is also tiled with new brushed nickel fixtures and light. This bathtub also has a tile surround. The backyard is nice sized. It has a huge deck running nearly the whole length of the house and about twelve feet deep. It was stained with a dark finish two years ago and should be good for another five or so. There is landscaping around the deck, which has views of the pond. A six by six foot sandbox is on the north side of the house so it gets a lot of shade throughout the day, as well as a small garden area on the southwest side of the house. You will fall in love with this three car garage. As well as having ample shelving, we installed the cabinets that we replaced from the kitchen in one corner of the garage- tons of storage! There is room and an outlet for a deep freezer. This house is in perfect condition and is ready to be moved into. There is fresh warm beige paint and white trim throughout. All of the doorknobs and most of the new light fixtures are brushed nickel. New carpet was installed in 2009 and it still looks new- there are no stains. Curtains and rods come with the house, and we have enough paint to paint the two alternately painted bedroom the same color as the rest of the house if desired. All of the furniture is negotiable, including the bookshelves and entertainment center. The home is across the street and two doors down form the very nice community playground and common area- great to have nearby if you have kids or grandchildren. We invite you to come and see our home first hand!
