Many surprises await you in this ranch-style home with an attached 3-car garage. Built in 1960, this unique home offers country charm and modern amenities for a touch of class. A total of 4 bedrooms (2 non-conforming in the lower level) 2 bathrooms, family room, storage area, plus more encompass 3010 square feet of living space. Even a man’s cave awaits for the do-it-yourself handy man in the oversized attached 2-car garage that offers a heated shop with a workbench and steel built-in cabinets. From this area you enter yet another 1-car garage. An additional storage shed is located behind the garage. Situated on a 0.28-acre parcel, this home provides parking for many cars and a fenced-in backyard with a patio.

A covered front porch welcomes you into the living room brightened by 4 side-viewing windows. Punctuating this large room is a wood-burning fireplace. Moving toward the rear of the home is an amazing open kitchen and dining room. The two-tone Wainscoting plus the beautiful hardwood flooring adds warmth and charm and coordinates wonderfully with the many cabinets and pantries. The granite countertops, cook-top 5-burner range, the built-in oven, and the black refrigerator add a touch of class. The beautiful hardwood flooring continues into the very large dining room. The design of the unique rear door flanked with paned windows enhance the charm of this room while the fabulous chandelier above the family table draws it all together. The large table and chairs plus the tall buffet give you an idea of how large this room is. The pocket door on one side of the room opens into a handy storage room. The door on the opposite side of the room opens to a brief vestibule that gives access to the side of the home and also entrance into the garage/workshop.

A brief hallway off the living room houses the stairs to the lower level on the right. Straight ahead another hallway houses the sleeping quarters and the 1st bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are at opposite ends of the home and are separated by the 1st bathroom. Bedroom 1 now accommodates a king size bed plus a triple dresser. It features a ceiling fan, a front and side-viewing window, and a step-in double closet. Bedroom 2 is comfortable in size and features a ceiling fan, a rear and side-viewing window, and a step-in closet with built in shelves. The bathroom conveniently serves both bedrooms and hosts a dual-sink vanity, a jetted tub/shower, tile flooring, and a side-viewing window. The laundry is conveniently located in the hallway opposite the bathroom and offers wall cabinets for your laundry supplies.

The stairs to the lower level open to the 3rd bedroom to the left and the family room to the right. Bedroom 3 is comfortable in size offering a front and side viewing window, a walk-in closet and Wainscoting. The family room provides another environment for family activities. The wood-burning fireplace will encourage an atmosphere of warmth on a cold winter night. Just around the corner is a curved bar fronted in brick. Seated behind the bar is a 2-burner stove/sink/refrigerator unit that will be a great asset when entertaining. An alcove next to the bar opens to a storage area. To the opposite side of the bar is the second bathroom featuring a single sink, tub/shower, and Wainscoting. Opposite the bathroom is the 4th bedroom featuring a double closet. A mechanical room with storage completes the layout on this level.

In addition to the 2 fireplaces, the home is heated with gas forced-air. It also features central air, a gas water heater, septic system, and a well 35 feet deep with a flow rate of 20 GPM. Personal properties offered in the sale are the dishwasher, refrigerator, range, oven, microwave, window treatments, auto garage door openers, and a storage shed.

The home is clad in white block trimmed in grey. Outdoor entertaining can be enjoyed on the rear patio and lawn that is anchored with 5 beautiful tall pine trees. A fence borders this area and continues to the one side of the home creating a safe haven for pets and children when playing outdoors. Underground sprinklers feed the lawn. A sidewalk extends from the patio to a storage shed seated within the fenced area. This provides another area for toys, lawn and garden tools, plus much more. The oversized 2-car garage/workshop is sure to make any man proud. It features a Modine gas space-heater plus a potbelly stove, a very large workbench, and a wall of built-in steel cabinets. From here you can enter into yet another single-car garage.
