NATURE CALLS

The old saying "You can take a girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl" also holds true as city living advances farther away from the mainstream hustle and bustle. In this home, you're still only minutes away from city conveniences, but this fantastic wooded setting with frequent visits from deer will make you feel a million miles away.

Stately trees frame the rear of this almost one-acre lot. Shrubs, flowers and smaller trees fill the backyard. A cobblestone walkway leads to the unusual wrap front porch reminiscent of a country home.

You'll be sure to make use of the wood burning fireplace in the living room with windows offering several views of the property. Crown molding adds a special richness to the room.

A tile floor in the kitchen makes for easy clean-ups if you're one of those messy cooks. Almond fixtures and counter-top highlight the light oak cabinets. The large kitchen has plenty of room for a breakfast area at one end. French doors lead to the patio.

Step down into the carpeted formal dining room. The unique ceiling treatment and bay window area are architectural highlights. The dining room is also accessible from a hall, which leads to the main entrance.

A combination powder room and laundry area is handily located on a short hall off the kitchen. The hall also provided access to the garage and basement.

A family room has already been finished in the basement. Useable now for an abundance of storage, the remainder of the lower level stands ready for someone's creative touch.

A master suit and two additional bedrooms plus bath make up the upper level. An attic ceiling fan located in the hallway draws in those cool summer breezes and helps cut down on air-conditioning costs.

The master bedroom sports a vaulted ceiling with a skylight. An entrance from the bedroom leads to the upper deck. The large walk-in closet also opens into the master bath with its Jacuzzi tub.

Enjoy exciting view of the surrounding area from either of the other two bedrooms. A full bath with tub/shower combination separates the two.

Priced at only $179,900 this home won't last long. Call RE/MAX Realty One to view this peaceful hilltop setting.
