Here is an opportunity to come and settle in a home that sits on a large piece of land. If you desire privacy, here is your opportunity. This wonderful Raised Rancher has had many recent upgrades in the last few years. The owner has gone above and beyond on improvements. So you will have peace of mind when moving in. I will share them. Thousands have been spent removing & trimming the trees to open up the area. Wide Paved 14 Foot asphalt Driveway, recently recoated. The roof was rebuilt in 2007 with premium quality roofing and covered the soffits so painting is no longer an issue. Replaced the two large windows in the living room and dining room with high-quality Pella in window blind units. Removed the oil-fired furnace and replaced it with a modern high efficient natural gas unit (about 3 years ago). Replaced the air conditioner with a high-efficiency unit (about 3 years ago). Replaced oil-fired water heater with a new high-efficiency natural gas unit. Removed the old oil tank from the basement. Installed new gas-fired high efficient fireplace insert after removing wood burning stove that stuck out into the basement living space. Super-insulated the attic. (This house is among the most efficient in the area as is noted by the gas and electric providers.) Installed a new ion exchange system for removing acid from water, which was an ineffective soda injection system. Installed a new water softener (about 3 years ago).Replaced water pump and improved future replacement by moving access to above-ground vs. three feet below ground. Completely rebuilt septic system (2004) and raised tank access from three feed below ground to ground level. (Work was done by Steve Scales Construction Co., which is located just up the street and whose brother installed original system.)Completely rebuilt the patio area with new insulated windows (were just screens), finished and insulated the walls, installed deck flooring over concrete, and added modern trim. Installed new high-end Pella storm doors at the main entry and patio entry. Built a new 12' X 16' shed with four windows and overhead storage. The floor in the shed is risen impregnated for a long life. There is decking in place at both sides of the shed. Taxes, when purchased, were less than $2K per year and now are about $6K per year, which shows a three-fold inflation rate not reflected in the asking price. main floor bathrooms have been upgraded with new larger and more efficient toilets, new one-piece sinks, new faucets, and modern vanities. In addition, the wall treatments in both bathrooms have been renewed. the walls and floors in both upstairs bathrooms are constructed of expanded steel lath and concrete. Other walls through the house are made with 5/8 inch thick commercial wallboard, not the usual 1/2 inch thick wallboard used in most homes
