Description

Amazingly peaceful setting for hosting large get-togethers or for embracing peace and quiet in your own sanctuary. So, many possibilities for its use make this much-loved home unique and special. There are walking paths, a garden shed, a private snug rear porch, a 27'x7 foot front porch. There is a circular drive in the front of the main house, but also an entry from the east side of the lot that accesses a 3-car carport, guest cottage. R.V. parking, a pole barn and a 2nd shed. The lot itself has lush vegetation and shade on some of the property, while other areas receive full sun and are garden-ready. The exterior brick on the home appears to be Old Chicago. The same brick transitions as you step inside. There are full brick walls in the foyer, the kitchen, the primary bedroom and in the great room. The courtyard feel of the home and the warmth of the brick give the house a New Orleans vibe. Everything about this home is special; you can see it from the road and feel it the moment you first enter. Natural light comes from overhead skylights located in the foyer and the kitchen. Most every room has a view of established trees, flowers etc. Immediately, this is a place you want to stay! From the foyer, the bedroom wing is left of the grand entry, while the living wing spans to the right. The kitchen is central and inviting and has a planter window. Beyond the kitchen, the huge great room has a fireplace focal point and built-in cabinetry for books or whatever prized possessions you cherish. The sitting room, the laundry room, and the primary bedroom all have exits to the private enclave in back. The hall bath retained its vintage tub but there is a lot that is new! The roof on main house is 2025, much of the HVAC and the septic system are recently updated. Most windows are updated; wiring is copper. Tile is in the wet areas and foyer. Detached 21x24 guest cottage has a small bathroom.
