Front View

 This charming 4 bedroom, 2 bath house is conveniently situated in Sherwood Forest. This brick ranch with a finished basement, 2 car garage and sunroom sits on a gorgeous lot with a flat back yard. Enter the house through the formal entrance hall. A large living room with adjoining dining room welcomes you to the home. A large bank of windows provides generous daylight in the living room. Crown moulding, wood floors and a masonry fireplace with gas logs accent this beautiful room. The formal dining room has plenty of room for large family gatherings. Crown and chair rail mouldings and wood floors complete this room.

     The bright cheery kitchen is wide open to the family room. This layout is hard to find in a traditional ranch style home. Wood flooring was added by the current owners in recent years. A wood burning fireplace is the focal point of the cozy family room.

     Through the kitchen door, you enter the sunroom, the owner’s favorite room in the house. T his 18’x16’ room has space for a large breakfast room table and comfortable seating area. Cooled and heated by a window unit, the sunroom is not included in the heated living area of the house. From the sunroom, you have wonderful views of the back yard. Shielded from neighbors by mature plantings, the back yard is a gardener’s delight! There is a raised bed herb garden with perennial herbs- oregano, thyme, lavender, chives, rosemary- all grow there. Scattered around the perimeter of the yard, you will find dogwoods, forsythia, a butterfly bush, rhododendrons, hosta, daylilies, and a beautiful green lawn of zoysia grass.

Living Room

     Back in the house, the bedroom area has wood floors also. All four bedrooms are nice and spacious with generously sized closets. Adjoined by a jack n’ jill bath, the 2 front bedrooms would make a nice master suite with an office “set up”. There is a hall bath with double sinks for the other 2 bedrooms to use. In the basement, you will find a large rec room that could serve as a work out room, kid’s play room, man cave or teen hangout! You can drive into the oversized 2 car garage and enter the house into the finished basement area.
