TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Relax on the comfort of your L-shaped front porch, and enjoy the view of the neighborhood from this hilltop San Dangaro Subdivision home.

Immaculate landscaping is highlighted by massive stone boulders on the front lawn. Stone edging forms the boundary for trees and shrubs that grace the front of the home.

An etched-glass door opens into the formal entry. Crown molding, a frosted ceiling light and wood flooring add rich touches.

The crown molding continues into the dining room. The low-hanging frosted chandelier is a match to the entry light and brings your attention to the tray ceiling. Wide northern exposure windows keep the room well lit.

Recessed lighting in the family room emits a soft glow as family and friends gather for an enjoyable evening's visit. Decorating for the holidays will be a special treat as you search for just the right pieces to sit atop the fireplace mantel. Windows to the south let you enjoy the woods that gently slope to the property's edge. Access to the rear patio is provided through French doors in the breakfast nook.

The spacious breakfast area will accommodate even the largest of families.

Everything you need for the meal is just a few short steps away. The large L-shaped kitchen has plenty of custom oak cabinets and a center work island.

A power supply to the island increases its usefulness. Slide-out drawers and child guard doors are added bonuses.

Keep the laundry out of sight, but within easy reach, in the laundry room just off the kitchen. A half bath with pedestal sink is also a welcome main-floor addition.

An open stairway leads from the main entry to the upper level bedroom area. A sitting area at the top of the stairs not only provides a place for quiet contemplation, but also the perfect place to display treasures while keeping them out of the daily traffic flow.

Three bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of space for family and guests. The spacious master bedroom will be a welcome retreat at the end of a long day. A separate shower and tub plus a skylight are added features of the master bath.

If you're one of those who have an overabundance of "I just can't bear to part with this" items, then you'll enjoy all the extra space the unfinished basement has to offer.

Come enjoy the view, and tour this fine home. Contact Classic Real Estate Better Homes and Gardens for your showing of this 1879 El Rio home priced at $167,000.
