ACREAGE IN TOWN! If you want city convenience with country privacy, this is the ideal property! Rare opportunity to own a ONE-LEVEL full brick home on 4.5 acres just off of Murdoch but outside of city limits! Approaching the property, the driveway is flanked with stone landscaping and leads to the heated 2-car garage. A concrete walkway guides guests to the front door, and the entire perimeter of the home is trimmed with updated stone landscaping. The recessed front porch is framed with solid red cedar timbers, giving a hint to the rustic elegance of the patio space out back. Just inside, a sweeping foyer allows panoramic views to several areas of the home, which features 10-ft ceilings throughout and plenty of natural light. The original formal living space has been transformed to an elegant dining area with coffered ceilings and rolling library ladder to access the built-in soffit shelf. The original dining room is currently used as a music room, but could be another sitting space and features a large arched picture window and wainscoting. The eat-in kitchen has a new stainless appliance package, and freshly refinished Corian countertops. The family room includes lighted custom built-ins and a gas fireplace. Two bedrooms and full bath are located off the family room. On the opposite side of the home, a private primary suite includes a large garden tub and walk-in closet. Large sliding glass doors lead from the primary bedroom, dining and family rooms to the luxurious patio space, constructed with solid red cedar timber posts and beams and gas fireplace. Expansive private back yard! A 16x24 two-story barn with lean-to shed offers plenty of storage! New roof, new flooring, and too many other updates/amenities to list! From the brick quoins outside to the bullnose corners on interior walls, the quality construction and craftsmanship is evident. Potential additional house site on the property! Don't miss the chance of living the best of both worlds- city and country!
