This 3 bedroom/ 3 bath home has lots of surprises - including 102' of water frontage on Upper Rockyford Lake and a master closet that will knock your socks off! The house was taken down to the studs in 2012 and completely rebuilt. A back porch was also enclosed and finished, and the the basement was finished, too. Both of these areas are heated/ cooled. Every major system in the house was replaced over the next several years - including plumbing, electrical, HVAC equipment and ductwork, roof, windows, and more. The main floor has about 1,950 SF. On this level, there's a great room with built-in bookcases, a fireplace, and a ceiling fan. There's a dining room, too. The well-appointed kitchen has granite countertops, tile floor, gas stove, built-in microwave, and more. All appliances convey to the buyer. From the kitchen, there are doors to the great room, dining room, and the enclosed porch that is now a FROG. There's a door leading to steps to the backyard from the FROG. Two bedrooms and two baths complete the main floor, and the master suite is special with a beautiful private bath with a double vanity, whirlpool tub, and a separate shower. The walk-in closet is nearly 20' deep and has loads of built-ins. The 2nd bedroom has a walk-in closet and a pocket door providing access to the full hall bath. From the great room, there are steps to the finished basement that has nearly 700 SF and includes a bedroom with a walk-in closet and full private bath, a large laundry room (the washer and dryer convey to the buyers), and a workshop. From the workshop, there's a door to the one-car garage. The storage at this property is terrific with a floored attic and walk-in crawl space with a concrete floor. Notice the dense insulation in these areas because very low power bills are the result. The backyard is very private and fenced. The current owner terraced the back yard and did away with the severe slope down to Upper Rockyford Lake. A gate in the fence leads to steps down to the lake. Owner-financing is an option. Be very careful on the dock, please. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
