First time on the market in 52 years! You too will want to enjoy this gracious home for decades, as it's the epitome of comfortable living. The floor plan is as practical today as it was when first built. We begin with a fenced in front yard and covered entry. You'll love the stately solid oak and leaded glass double door entry which opens onto a foyer in the center of the home. You'll be impressed by the vaulted ceilings in the grand formal living room which has a bay window looking out over the front yard. The formal dining room is also a treasured space which looks out through an oversized set of French double doors to your generously sized back yard. The back yard is large enough for a swimming pool, and is extremely private gazing out to the meticulously manicured slopes across the way. The kitchen features classic oak cabinets with exotic veining, a center island, and granite counter tops, and oversized walk in pantry. The family room provides a cozy space with warm vibes created by the wood paneling, wet bar, beamed ceilings, and painted brick clad fireplace. Upstairs you have 4 bedrooms, but could also have a 5th bedroom if needed. The primary bedroom is using what would be Bedroom 5 as a den. The enormous bedroom over the garage is awesome with vaulted beamed ceilings and more sumptuous wood wall paneling. The back yard features a large concrete patio with a vinyl patio cover; as well as a large grass area. If you appreciate privacy, you'll love this yard. All of this, with an asking price $250K below the most recent model match sale from July. Bring your imagination and get ready to make this your dream home.
