There is an extra grassy lot for leg stretching and animal exercise (backyard). Of course, the 2 car garage with automatic opener and driveway for parking is included, and opens up from a single to a 2 car driveway at the garage. There is a front cement "patio" area for people watching, however the back door with patio is used most often to come in. The bunnies out in the backyard are part of the ambiance! The kitchen has a large farm sink and tons of countertop space and cabinets. You will not be disappointed! Most appliances are newer, and the kitchen overlooks the backyard. Just off of the kitchen is another full bath on the 1st floor, back door to the garage & backyard (used the most), door to the basement (with bathroom, 2 "playrooms" and wine "keeper"), a laundry room on first floor (with included washer, and dryer, plus utility sink) and another stairway (to the second floor). Sounds like a lot, but it's not! There is a very large library/family room/dining room. There is a gas fireplace/stove at one end. It is quite large with a wooden floor. The library leads to the beamed ceiling, large living room (new carpeting), front formal staircase, front door, and large windows. The living room has new carpeting that is almost too thick! So cool! The second floor holds 3 bedrooms with closets, all larger but varying sizes including a master bedroom, PLUS a business office (no closet, etc.). There is another full size bathroom on the second floor. The basement has a wine + utility closet. There is a "semi-finished" 3rd bathroom (3/4 bath) and shower, for "emergencies", plus "playrooms". This is an 8 foot ceiling height (cement block) basement, not 7 feet as normal, so regular height and regular rooms! Lots of storage! THIS is a decent, quiet, real home. We are looking for people that will love it, respect it, and live well in it. Only those that will not jeopardize this property in any way are considered. Tenants treat this home as their home by choice, because it is! We check all references DILIGENTLY before renting, because the house is wonderful! We protect it.
