Acreage with a view

Perched on a hilltop, this 2.85 acre Kelley Court setting offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the serenity.

Travel to the back of the home for a change of pace. Tall trees on the hillside help to add privacy to the in-ground diving pool and surrounding deck area. A screened porch on the main level overlooks the pool area and provides a cover for the walk-out basement's patio. Also opening onto the concrete pool pad is the lower level garage with its overhead door.

The outside is a great place to be, but the inside has much to offer as well. A formal living room sits just off the main entry. When the family's all in however, they're sure to be gathered in the family room. The large fireplace with marble surround and wooden display shelves above is the focal point of the room. French doors lead to the screened deck.

The master suite opens to the screened deck and also has a window view of the pool area. A well-planned master bath offers an oversize shower with seat as well as a garden tub with his/her sinks on either side. Tall cabinets with drawers are located on each end of the room providing an abundance of storage space. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this bedroom area of the home.

Soft, country blue counters top the kitchen cabinets and two-level eating counter that separates the kitchen from the breakfast nook. Utilize the nearby formal dining room for larger family gatherings. The utility room sits just off the kitchen.

But wait, there's another surprise at this end of the house. Guests usually do not want to feel they've invaded the privacy of others by making someone give up a bedroom so they can visit. That definitely isn't the problem here. The guest suite offers a view of the pool, large closet area and full bath.

The large family will appreciate all the lower level has to offer. Whether it be sofas and chairs, a pool table or exercise equipment, the family room will easily accommodate the furnishings. Ceramic tile covers a portion for anyone wishing to install a bar or just provide an area away from the carpeting for drinks and snacks.

In addition there's a recreation room, playroom, bedroom and plenty of additional storage space. An extra large bath with oversize fixtures including shower and pedestal sink complete the downstairs.

Wide open spaces with a great view, a golf course just down the road and a fantastic house are available for $270,000. Contact Classic GMAC Real Estate for a personal tour or view the house online at www.houseviewonline.com.
