Property description
****CALLING FOR ALL THE HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS BY MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2024 BY 12:00PM (NOON). PLEASE READ THROUGH AGENT REMARKS FOR MORE INFORMATION******* Welcome HOME to 47 E. 40th Street! This home has been impeccably maintained and loved by the owner for over 30 years and is located within walking distance of most public schools. As you enter the home through a sunken slate-floored foyer, you walk up a few steps into the open-concept formal living room/formal dining room area with hardwood floors and rooms that are flooded by natural light. As you enter the spacious family room you will notice the exposed beams, cathedral ceilings, and built-in storage/shelves. This family room is open to the Florida/All-season sun room with a wood stove and a view of the private backyard. The eat-in kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, ample storage space, and Corian countertops for ease of cleanup. The garage-to-den conversion has been permitted and adds another space for entertaining including built-ins, and 3 large closets (2 of which contain an axillary refrigerator and freezer that come with the sale of the home). The exterior facade has been maintained and if the new buyers choose this can be converted back into a garage. The main floor also has a laundry room with cabinets and a 1/2 bathroom. The second floor features 4 spacious bedrooms. 2 full bathrooms, and two large hallway closets (one is a walk-in closet) for extra storage. The Primary bedroom has an en-suite that was renovated in 2017. Bedroom 2 has access to the floored attic space. The ENTIRE upstairs has hardwood flooring just waiting to be uncovered. The backyard has 2 patio sections, great for entertaining, and a gas grill that is hooked up to a gas line and is also included in the sale of the home. The backyard is also private as it is encased by landscaping. Additional features include ceiling fans, cathedral ceilings, a wood stove that gets serviced every year, chair rails, crown molding, a newer electric water heater (2021), 3 new glass panes in the sunroom (2023), expansive patio installation (1997), gas line to grill, whole house replacement windows (1996), a newer roof (2015), new whole house chimney liner installed (2017), anti-freeze faucet installed (2023), and a shed in the backyard so all you have to do is move in and call it home. All dimensions of lots and building/room sizes are estimated and should be verified by the consumer/buyer for accuracy. All receipts and invoices for all work done to the home are included in the accompanying documents. This house is being sold "As-Is". Don't wait, schedule your showing today as this beautiful home will not last long!
