A true country setting and just a short walk to the schools and venues of Merton Village from this beautifully updated home offered by the original owner. Enter the 2-story foyer and enjoy sweeping country views and south exposure. The sunny kitchen has granite countertops and a dining alcove overlooking the rear yard. The large adjacent living room has a raised hearth fireplace and custom blinds. Upstairs you will find generously sized bedrooms and closet space. The owner's suite features double walk-in closets, vaulted ceiling, and a remodeled full bath. A real surprise is the finished walk-out lower level with game/theatre area, a beautiful oak bar, family room, and extra 1/2 bath. The upper deck and lower bricked patio view the manicured lot with apple trees that adjoin the park land.
