Property Description
Privacy and elbow room, combined with in town convenience!! Enjoy approximately 5.5 acres within walking distance to the park, schools and downtown attractions! Unbelievably, this is a 'one owner' home, being sold for the first time since being built in 1965!! Everything is big here. The living room, the den, and all bedrooms are generously sized. The home was expanded in the 80s, adding a huge "in-law suite", a 6 car garage, and an absolutely cavernous basement. The "in-law suite" was recently renovated. The basement offers unlimited possibilities for recreation or entertaining, with over 2600 square feet and high ceilings! Much of the home is ripe for some cosmetic improvements, so bring your design ideas! Also offered with 13 acres - see MLS #1234681. Listing agent related to seller. Agents, please see comments and attachments!
