Location is a key feature of this home nestled within a secluded community but close to shopping and main travel routes. Positioned on a large lot, this lovely home boasts timeless curb appeal and a meticulously landscaped yard with dedicated garden area, gazebo, and multiple decks. A detached workshop, with covered outdoor shelving, could be an art/pottery studio or woodworking shop. For added charm, a train moves by the property several times a week. The speed of the train is such that the conductor may have time to wave as the train goes by the home. Upon entering the home, you will take notice of the beautiful open spaces, high ceilings, skylights, large windows, hardwood flooring throughout many of the spaces, and the many architectural details. Guests are greeted by an ample foyer that leads into the living room with stone fireplace and vaulted wood ceiling. The cook's kitchen includes ample cabinetry and counter space, stainless appliances, dual pantries, and an alcove for a breakfast table.
