Long-time owners have enjoyed many many years in this well-kept, two-story, home with a full basement and a 3 car, side-load, attached garage set on a picturesque, over-sized, home site (over half an acre) in the coveted Mill Creek Crossing subdivision. The serene setting provides the opportunity to enjoy deer and ducklings and other wildlife from the paver brick patio in your own backyard while still being close to all the shopping and transportation you may need. The two-story foyer with open staircase provides a fitting introduction to this home. Separate formal dining room and living room with crown moldings flank the entry. French doors off the living room lead to a generously sized main floor office with a trayed ceiling. The family room has a dramatic two-story, vaulted, ceiling, an abundance of windows and a wood burning brick fireplace. The ample sized kitchen has a center island with cooktop, built-in double oven, window over the sink overlooking the gorgeous back yard, pantry closet and a large, bayed, eating area with access to the brick patio. The main floor also has a powder room for guests and a convenient laundry room off the garage. Upstairs is the wonderful primary bedroom suite complete with a full bathroom with jetted tub, separate shower stall and dual sinks plus a sitting room and spacious walk-in closet. The 3 additional bedrooms are more than adequate in size and all have double-door closets and ceiling fans. There is a second full bath to support those rooms. The full unfinished basement offers a ton of potential with 9 ft ceilings and a roughed-in bath. This could be your "forever home".
