  There are so many cupboards!
For ease of clean-up and beautiful design, the counter-top has a seamless
transition to the sink, 
and is also used for the back-splash. 
A special feature is the crank out window over
 the sink - a handy pass-through to the chef manning the grill!
Notice the sun tunnel skylight, for added natural light.

The kitchen island is not only practical, but a beautiful addition.
And who doesn't love a window over the kitchen sink?
You can look out to the west and take in the sunset from your kitchen.
All kitchen appliances stay.
The previous owners had added a mother-in-law suite to the original floor plan.
  This back foyer was part of the addition and serves as a great transition space for a small sitting area, 
plant room or whatever suits your needs.  The French doors (with built-in blinds) open wide to make for an 
easy access point to move furniture or other bulky items in and out of the house.


2nd Bedroom on the main level - former mother-in-law bedroom with attached half-bath.
There are hardwood floors under the carpet.
The west windows overlook the deck; additionally there's easy access to the deck and backyard.
Half bath for 2nd bedroom.

Remodeled main bathroom, including sun tunnel skylight.
Welcome to the sprawling primary bedroom. 
If you want your king-sized bed, all the furniture, plus a sitting area - you've found it here.
The 3 original bedrooms have become one spacious suite, set off with a cozy, rustic vibe.  
Make this your sanctuary; you won't want to leave.
You'll even have a huge walk-in closet/dressing room.


The primary bath has been remodeled, too.
Former bedroom turned into a walk-in closet/dressing room.
The original front 2 bedrooms have oak flooring under the carpet.
The dressing room comes complete with a convenient ironing board!
What's better than a cozy Rec Room?  
The fireplace is non-functional, but an electric or gas insert could be installed.  
The gas line is capped from the previous gas starter.



The washer and dryer stay, along with the water-softener.
3rd Bedroom or flex space to use for an office, work-out or craft room.
The stained concrete floor makes for easy clean-up.
Please note: gun safe to be removed prior to closing.

Lower level half-bath.
There previously was a shower stall, but the sellers had plumbing and surround removed
 and used the space for storage.
2 stall drive-under garage complete with gas heater, which was installed in 2021.
There's an additional storage space by the overheard garage door.

The perfect warm-weather spot.  
You'll love watching sunsets, enjoying cook-outs and entertaining on the composite deck.
The square window, which is over the sink in the kitchen, cranks out.
It's a handy pass-through for the Grill Master.  Genius!
"Good fences make good neighbors," and this house is no exception.  
Crisp white vinyl fencing adds appeal and is a fitting accompaniment to the house and Morton Building.
Open the gate at the back of the house, and ride right up the concrete drive to "Mort" the Morton Building.
The rock garden along the side of the house was designed  
to ensure water drains away from the foundation.
This 24' x 36' Morton Building might be the most appealing of all.
A rare bonus in most locales, but especially so inside the metro area.
The overhead door and windows are insulated.
On the west side of the building is space to store a trailer.
This was a special project for the sellers and was home to their hobbies -
 motorcycles, a classic car, Quads and more.


The blog tour is complete, but if you're interested in having a look in-person, give me a call.
