Description

This property is offered for sale directly by the owner. For Sale By Owner homes, also known as FSBOs, can be a good buying opportunity, because the owner will save up to 6% when there are no brokers involved in the transaction. This leaves more room for price negotiation and potential buyer savings.

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. We enjoyed living in this house for 20 years - driving through a mature canopy of trees and into the subdivision through the big iron gates gave us a beautiful view of the changing seasons provided by all the color changes of the landscape. No two houses are alike. All were built individually so each home is unique. With the view of Hickory Grove Road through the expanse of windows in the sunroom, we were able to watch the children in the neighborhood grow up and also allowed us to get to know many of the neighbors living in the area as they enjoy their frequent walks.The house, itself, has a comfortable "flow" of traffic going from one room to the next. The 17' living room worked well to accommodate a baby grand piano with a wall of shelves behind it for books and collectibles. Gas fireplace for atmosphere in the fall and winter months. The sunroom with its 3 skylights and 3 walls of windows and doors open the view to the 10 wooded acres behind a board fence across the road where neighbor, George, keeps Nicholas, his horse. Often we watched deer and occasionally wild turkeys wandering through.The KBL designed kitchen is a pleasure to prepare meals in with a slide-in, duel fuel range with convection oven in the island and with 2 banks of pantry cabinets, along with lots of cabinets for storage. Your choice to eat your meals at the table and chairs (included with the house depending on the purchase price) in the kitchen, at the area for a table and chairs just through the sliding doors to the sunroom or in the formal dining room. A computer desk with a shelf for your cookbooks is conveniently located next to the pantry cabinet. The main floor laundry has a SS sink for special laundry (or other projects).Upstairs has a separate furnace and air conditioner allowing for efficient heating and cooling. All 3 of the bedrooms have large double closets. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet as well as a smaller standard closet. Enjoy a rest after a long day in the spa tub in the master bathroom. The shower is located just outside the MBR. There are large closets at both ends of the upstairs hallway. The contractor who built this home for his own use considerately designed the house with lots of closets. All of the bedrooms have window seats. The partially finished basement is carpeted and has cabinets beneath the stairs to hold games and toys. The utility room has most of 2 walls with built-in open shelving - a place for lots of holiday things, collectibles, and whatevers! The water heater was replaced after we moved, so it is nearly new.The over-sized 3 car garage has 3 separate doors with openers. One of the 2 closets contains the homeowner owned water softener (replaced about 2 months before we moved out). Plenty of room for a riding mower. There is a gas furnace allowing for comfortable temps in the winter. Pull-down stairway to the attic storage area.
