Description

This property is offered for sale directly by the owner. For Sale By Owner homes, also known as FSBOs, can be a good buying opportunity, because the owner will save up to 6% when there are no brokers involved in the transaction. This leaves more room for price negotiation and potential buyer savings.

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. Nestled in the village of historic Port Republic, this charming custom built Shaker colonial is offered for sale by owner. Mature landscaping and perennials on 1.1 acre, frame this 2 story home, accessible by a circular driveway. Slate stepping stones and a brick porch lead you to the front door, where variable width pine flooring, a hard wood staircase, and 9 foot ceilings welcome you inside. The wooded sightline draws you past the rooms on your left and right, into the sunny expanse of the kitchen, great room, and morning rooms. A 10 foot long kitchen island with distressed stools serves as a gathering place, with a view onto the expansive slate patio, bordered with privacy foliage. A brick gas fireplace with a rustic wooden beam mantle is the focal point of the great room, which also boasts floor to ceiling built-in shelving and cabinets. The two front side rooms with opened French doors complete the spacious circular flow, or can become private rooms with curtained French doors.The changing seasons of a growing family was built into their design as either room can operate as a formal dining room, play room, lounge, office, or private bedroom for grandparents. Completing the first floor is a powder room off the large tiled mudroom which has exits to both front and rear yards, and to the garage. White wainscoting dresses up this mudroom, creating a second attractive entry point, complete with floor to ceiling built in lockers to keep the family organized.The second floor contains 5 bedrooms, a laundry room with sink, counter, and cupboards, and two full bathrooms. The 5th spacious bonus bedroom has a cedar lined walk in closet and access to a side attic and upper attic. A full staircase leads to the 3rd floor attic space for storage galore, or a potential 3rd floor. The master bath has a double soaking tub and private toilet closet. The other four bedrooms share a hall bathroom with an expansive counter and a dozen drawers for the large family. A basement, with a 10 foot ceiling, is accessible from the kitchen with a split farm door - perfect to hear whats going on downstairs while protecting toddlers from falling down. It has a semi-finished area with a pool table, and a separate large room with 4x8 storage shelving. A second basement staircase connects directly to the 2 car garage with a utility sink. Playtime easily extends into the yard which boasts a one of a kind tree house with a 20 foot slide, swing set, and built in cement holders for a volleyball net. The wide array of perennial shrubs are well cared for by a 5 zone irrigation system. A spacious slate patio for entertaining is complete with a plumbed gas line for a barbecue grill, an electric outlet for a generator, and underground conduit pipe for bringing electrical wires to a future hot tub. Solar panels cut down electricity costs, and a private outdoor shower easily helps to clean up after a day at the beach or in the yard. Custom conveniences are throughout: from dimmer switches in every room, well designed closets, and window candle lights tied to one light-switch, to a centralized vacuum system housed in its own centrally located, built in cabinet. If you like to walk to see sunsets over water, be part of a highly rated grade school and the newer Cedar Creek High School, live a short drive from the shore, and have plenty of space to entertain or house several remote offices from home, this house may be what you are looking for! Built in 2003, it has been lovingly cared for by its original owners for 17 years and is ready for its next owners to make it their own.
