Brick ranch on quiet side street with living and family rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, patio, carport, basement, level yard. Formerly the manse for the Alderson Presbyterian Church, this brick home offers the convenience of one-level living. Two stately maple trees grace the front yard, flanking a stone walkway leading to the front entry. The entry opens directly into the living room, which features a picture window and a cozy brick fireplace with a tile hearth and a wood stove insert. There’s also a handy coat closet.
Like most rooms in the home, the living room has attractive hardwood flooring.
The living room flows into the dining room, which is separated by a doorway from the kitchen. The kitchen features white cabinetry, laminate countertops with a double stainless-steel corner sink and an eye-catching decorative metal backsplash. Appliances include a Whirlpool range, a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, a wall-mounted Whirlpool microwave and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The kitchen flooring is laminate.
A large family room is in the rear, with a picture window overlooking the back yard and patio. This room incorporates a half-bath and a closet.
There are three bedrooms. Each has a ceiling fan, and they share a tiled hallway bath with a shower-tub and ceramic tile floor.
The basement, accessed by a door near the family room and kitchen, is essentially a storage and utility area, with washer and dryer hookups.
The carport is located on the side of the house, with an entry directly into the kitchen, convenient for unloading groceries. The home also features a stone patio overlooking the back yard, a perfect spot for outdoor grilling and entertaining. The back yard is encircled by a tall wooden privacy fence, making the space suitable for entertaining and pets. In past years it has also been the site of a small garden.
