Property Views:

Above are several different views of the front this great property. Note the driveway large enough for at least 2 vehicles and the close up of the manicured lawn, front walk, front porch garden and covered porch, which exemplifies the quality and care you will find throughout the property. You can begin to see why this property offers such a great value. It is not for everyone but it is ideal for many. Come experience it for yourself -- you are likely to enjoy the visit.

Front Porch (5’ x 18’)
Entry is up the walk passing the manicured lawn and garden areas and up a small step to the inviting front porch. Enjoy the afternoon/evening shade. Add a couple comfortable chairs, small table and a pitcher of your favorite beverage – can you say “Happy Hour?”

Back Yard

The above photos show the beautiful back yard. Gently sloped toward the back of the property, the yard has ample space for activities of your choice and is fenced on three of four sides. The shed offers excellent outdoor storage and is offered in "AS IS" condition.


Enclosed Back Patio (8' 8" x 20’ [approx.])

While we are at the back yard, stop to admire the enclosed back patio. A perfect 3 season room (add a good space heater to make it a 4 season room. All the glass panels here have a screen counterpart so you can swap to create the ventilation and air flow of your choosing. Several electrical outlets supply the power you need to enjoy this addition to the fullest. In these photos, the patio is set for winter with all glass panels installed.


Community Park (1 block away)

I drive through this community daily and often pass this park. It always looks very inviting. Now you have seen some of the community and the property. Let's take a look inside.

Come on in: make yourself at home.


   

Living Room (11' 1" x 17' 9")
(All dimensions are Depth by Width in relation to the front entrance)

Step through the threshold into your Living Room – you are home. The still new looking wall-to-wall carpet will guide you to the left to the small hall leading to the bedrooms, bath and basement access. Walking across the living room, you enter the dining room and kitchen or possibly escape out the back to the quiet of the enclosed back patio. Plenty of light available through 3 double-pane windows (2 front, 1 side).


Dining Room (10' 0" x 8' 1")

For casual or formal meals; use the elegant chandelier, with dimmer, to set the atmosphere. A "Pergo style" vinyl floor allows for easy clean up of family spills.


 

Kitchen: (6' 2"+ x 7' 6")

Compact and functional. Updated counter and cabinets, roomy refrigerator, gas range/oven, stainless sink with disposal, and exhaust fan. The "wood chip" appearing vinyl flooring extends from the kitchen into the dining room. Option 2 – step out the back door and enjoy dinner out on the enclosed patio.


Bedroom 1: (10' 11" x 12' 10")

The wall-to-wall carpet will keep the feet warm and the ceiling fan will keep the rest of you cool.


Bedroom 2: (11' 0" x 9' 4")

Also has wall-to-wall carpet and a ceiling light fixture. It currently has the Cinderella motif and would not require much effort to change to Sir Lancelot. There is a whole universe of imagination available here. Can you say “abracadabra?”


Bathroom:

Facilities are facilities: not much changes. With bathrooms, a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Basement (15' 3" [at narrowest point] x 21' 0" [Approx.]):

I am told by family members that the owner dug out the basement with family and friends after the house was built. I believe it because the construction of the basement shows the same meticulous care that is evidenced by all the small household projects that have been performed.

The first concern in any basement is water management. If any water ever attacked this basement, the basement is set up to gobble it up with a drainage system that deposits the water in the sump pump that discharges the water to the front curb. If the power goes out, the sump pump is equipped with a self charging battery back-up system to keep the water flowing. The basement houses all utilities, laundry and generous size work bench and ample storage.


 

Thank you for looking.
I hope to see you at the property.
