Tucked neatly into the trees of Kingswood Subdivision is this roomy 1,500 sq ft split entry home on 1.75 acres. The landscaped lot is encircled with trees, providing privacy as well as quiet. Leading to the front door of the house is a nicely laid concrete walk, with tiered flowerbeds beside the house. The spaciousness of this house greets you as you open the front door. The main foyer boasts 64 ft² of entry space with a cathedral ceiling and large custom window. Walk up the wide genuine oak staircase to the main floor and enjoy the openness of the living room and dining room. The large windows in the living room and foyer combine with the deck doors in the dining room to allow an abundance of daylight into the house. Notice the warmth and character of the genuine oak flooring in the living room, dining room, and upper hall. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of oak cabinets, lots of counter space, ceramic tile flooring, and a window overlooking the deck, and the back yard (as well as the occasional deer or rabbit passing through it). The hallway to the bedrooms is uniquely wide at 5ft, and there are 5 accent wall lights in the hall providing a nice night time effect. All three bedrooms are generous and carpeted. The master bedroom has a walk in-closet, a full 4-piece ensuite with 6 ft whirlpool tub and a window overlooking the backyard, and a second access to the back deck. Yet another large window in the 3-piece bath at the end of the hall allows the daylight in.
Walk down the stairs to the lower floor and access the built-in double garage. Each side has its own door with electric opener. The utility room accessible through the garage houses the hot water heater, heat recovery ventilation unit, and supplemental electric furnace. The walk-out to the back yard is also in the garage. For easy maintenance the ceramic tile flooring of the main foyer, kitchen, and bathrooms has been continued in the lower foyer, through the laundry area, and into the 2-piece bathroom. Tall windows at either end of the completely finished and carpeted rec room make this space feel more like a main-floor room than a basement. If a fourth bedroom or den is desired, this room could be easily divided.
One of the most interesting features of this house is the heating/cooling system. Heat in the cold weather and central air conditioning in the warm weather is provided by a split heat pump system. This is arguably one of the most efficient systems for home heating in our area. The total yearly cost for this house for all electricity, heat, and air conditioning was only $3157 for the past 12 months.

This is a wonderful house on a wonderful lot in an excellent subdivision. Consider it carefully...
