Property description
Here's an amazing opportunity to own this lovely brick & vinyl ranch home in a non-development setting in Bear. This custom built 3 bedroom 2 full bath ranch sits on a beautiful 1.24 Acre private lot. As you make your way through this home it becomes apparent that the owners have meticulously maintained this property inside & out. A curved front walkway with beautiful landscaping leads you inside to a wide foyer entrance w/ coat closet. Straight ahead brings you to the large (22'x14') great room that features a wood burning brick fireplace w/ gas insert, custom shelving, & a gorgeous jumbo bay window. Open to the great room is a formal dining room & entrance to the rear sun room that boasts a ton of windows, ceiling fan, & convenient access to the rear patio. The large eat-in kitchen features endless storage, center island, oak cabinetry, tile flooring, recessed fridge/microwave, bread box, & a beautiful view of the rear yard from the sink window. The well sized master bedroom includes a ceiling fan & 3 separate closets. Across the hall is a generously sized 2nd bedroom that gets great light & includes two closets. The 3rd bedroom features custom wall lighting and a deep closet. Both full baths feature tile flooring, shower/tub combo, with the larger of the two including a comfortable corner jetted tub for relaxing. Below grade is a gigantic finished basement that has tile flooring, custom staircase, custom lighting, extra baseboard heating, and built-in entertainment shelving. You have to see the attached 2 car garage to really appreciate the space. It features tons of storage space and also provides direct access to the basement, kitchen & rear patio. Outside you will discover lots of open space, a long driveway w/ extra parking, and a wide variety of unique trees & landscaping including a beautiful cherry tree in the rear. The two rear sheds are great for storage and one of them is large enough to store a boat! Updates include replacement PVC plumbing, updated 200 amp electric panel, new tall baseboard trim, and much more. Just minutes from route 1, shopping, marina, & Lums pond. Lot's of space inside and out! See it today!
