On 3/4 acre, this 3910 sq. ft. home has wooded views from upscale interior with white marble floors, Marvin windows, open staircase, 2 fireplaces, and solarium, among many attributes. The MAIN LEVEL's wraparound front porch opens to a 2-story foyer where the home’s generous natural light begins. The entertainment-friendly circulation space includes the LR, family room with fireplace, 1/2 bath, formal dining w/ wet-bar buffet, & eat-in kitchen open to outdoor dining deck. Atop the open staircase is a library/study with a wall of bookcases, huge window to the woods, and a railing overlooking spaces below. The UPPER LEVEL includes the home’s 2 spacious bedrooms. The primary suite has a mirrored wall visually expanding the room’s large dimensions and includes a huge walk-in closet. The en-suite bath includes a tiled walk-in shower and soaking tub and opens to an all-glass atrium also accessed from the BR. This curved-glass enclosure is ideal for plants and can serve as a reading/sitting room or exercise area. Adjacent to the primary BR is a nursery/flexible-use room with skylight. A generous guest/2nd BR has equally beautiful forest views and handy access to a full bath. The sizeable, flexible LOWER LEVEL can be accessed from a walkout patio and the inside staircase. The major portion is a family room with a massive stone fireplace and a wall-length wet bar.

Priced to allow a buyer to realize its potential, this solid 1962 home in a handy location close to an elementary school, has a level back yard, front porch, oak floors except in the kitchen and bath, two large bedrooms, several built-ins including a bookcase, and good light. Sold â??AS ISâ? as part of an estate, it has been neglected for several years. The electricity has been shut off. The central HVAC appears to be in fair condition but is currently not in operation. The water to the house was turned off a few years ago when a water-pipe joint burst one winter in the ceiling of the under-house garage (see photo 28), but damage was minimal because the basement is unfinished. There are several items remaining that transfer with the house, including a washer and dryer, some furniture, dishes, a cabinet-style Singer Sewing Machine, a 1970â??s Steinway 41â? spinet piano in tunable shape. The seller has removed as many things as possible, but the buyer will be responsible for removing or using all remaining items.
