Freedoms of out-of-town zoning, plus all city services: city water, natural gas, high-speed cable, DSL connection, trash pick up, and school bus pick up at the end of your drive. All grades K-12 located within a one-mile walking distance. Outdoor living space is plentiful with 1470 sq ft of patio, 12 x 18 wood deck, and a 12 x 23 gazebo, creating many spaces and opportunities for sunny or shaded play, relaxation, and entertaining. Inside you will find a well thought-out floor plan offering great airflow, convenient one-floor living (or home office working environment). Entry from the attached two car garage leads you into the large mudroom/laundry area with a closet, pantry, and room for a freezer as well. From there you continue into the country kitchen with 19 ft of countertop, a breakfast counter, 23 cabinets, some with pull-out drawers. The dining room features a custom, lighted built-in hutch. Entering from the front door, guests will say wow over the 19 x 23 Great Room with its majestic native limestone fireplace and natural light from a wall of windows. The house was redecorated and remodeled for passive solar heat in 2006. One of the finest features of the property is the pristine native meadow---never broken by the plow. Each year enjoy an incredible array of wildflowers and see what the first settlers marveled at. Other landscape features include native limestone terraces built with stone salvaged from a 100+ year old barn, and walking paths for exercise and nature viewing. There is plenty of space for raising your own food, garden, livestock, horses, chickens, and rabbits. Quail have been raised commercially here in the past. There are a variety of productive fruit trees--- plum, peach, apple, cherry, pear, apricot, plus walnut and pecan. Raised garden beds produce a high yield (we recently canned 33 gallons of garden goods). A delightful variety of song birds love visit with the changing seasons. The large workshop is suitable for hobbies or business ventures and includes space for two autos within. Plenty of parking on the property for guests, customers, or deliveries. Property maintenance equipment is available to negotiate into the purchase (lawnmower-tractor with snow blade, harrow, garden tiller, DR 18 hp chipper, Bronco with snow plow for income).
