This South of Grand home with over 5,000 square feet of finished area is on a half acre lot. A newer custom built home in 1987 has the updates you like in an area of 100+ year old oak trees. Walking through the front custom doorway will lead you to a two story entryway and a wonderful staircase. The living area has gorgeous built-in bookcases and fireplace and the dining area with its built-in buffet. You will love the open eat in kitchen area and family room with stone fireplace (both fireplaces are gas). Nice 3 seasons porch overlooks the backyard and patio. The master suite has a sitting area, large walk-in closet, his and her bath areas with a walk-in shower and tub. The other bedrooms on this floor are large and have bathrooms. One of these bedrooms has a space saving pull down Murphy bed. One more floor up (considered a finished attic 3rd floor) with plenty of room for office space or that 5th bedroom, or whatever you like. The lower level finished basement has a large bedroom, full bath. In addition, there is another area for an office. Also a workshop with plenty of room for a theater or family room. This home also has a dumbwaiter (small freight elevator about 4ft x 4ft) to carry items from the basement to the above 2 floors. The 2 car garage is huge with 726 s.f. including an electric car charging station.
