From the half-moon picture window to the guest house to the 3/4 acre lot, this unique Dutch Colonial Revival home in Walker has something for everyone, especially fans of Chip & Joanna! Inside this 4 bed, 2 bath home you'll find that many updates have been completed (see the attached list for details). The living room not only features that beautiful half-moon picture window so prevalent from the exterior but also a gas fireplace with a unique curved mantel and shelves. The rustic hardwood floors flow from the living room into the kitchen/dining area creating a cohesive feel to the main living space. A large island separates the kitchen work area from the dining area making the kitchen very functional while retaining the formal dining rooms of the past. At the rear of the main level is a large family room featuring a gas fireplace, skylights creating an almost sun-room feel. Walking upstairs you'll notice the freshly re-done staircase with tile landing. In addition to the original hardwood floors and heart pine trim, the upper-level is home to all 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have vaulted ceiling (an unusual feature for a home of this age), and a full bath. In addition to housing the mechanicals and laundry, the basement of this home is unique for its age with taller ceilings and includes a partially finished space ready to make your own. Outside you'll find the .78 acres of rolling hills is a gardener's dream. In addition to quite a bit of landscaping work, including a new retaining wall in the back and all-new plantings in the front, you find unique features like rain collection barrels and a gardening table complete with outdoor sink attached to the shed. The yard also features a productive apple tree, peonies, as well as blackberry, and blueberry bushes. The 2-plus car garage has plenty of space for vehicles as well as your toys. Rounding out the uniqueness of this home is the gate-house at the front of the property that's fully licensed as an income-generating rental property. What better way to offset expenses than having a tenant pay for a portion of the mortgage. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity, give us a call today.
