Surrounded by green farmland dotted with numerous trees and hills, this modest home on a cul-de-sac offers plenty of space for growing families who want to be near the city, but like to be enveloped by the country.

With more than 3,000 finished square feet, the home includes extras such as a complete in-law apartment and a spacious three-car garage with plenty of storage space, as well as a double shed with electric.

Constructed out of brick and siding, the split-level is surrounded by tasteful landscaping and a welcoming large oak tree in the front.

Inside, an open foyer gives way to a sunken living room on the right. Carpet extends throughout most of the home, adding to its cozy feel. The living room is sunny with a bay window and neutral walls.

The kitchen beyond is spacious with space for a full-sized table and a smaller nook area. A railing separates it from the living room. The counters are decorative and gleaming. A side-by-side fridge and plenty of cabinets define this space.

Adjacent, a sunroom boasts walls of windows overlooking the backyard that steps right off of a postcard. Here, trees, hills and open space provide plenty of breathing room at the end of a busy day. A concrete patio off of the sunroom is an ideal spot for cookouts and outdoor meals.

Back inside, another room off of the kitchen is large and could be a playroom or an office that also leads to the attached garage. A convenient laundry room features walls of shelves and a washer and dryer that convey.

Upstairs, a full bath is off of the hallway and two bedrooms are both spacious with full windows and double-door closets. The master suite offers a walk-in closet and full bath with a double vanity and a walk-in shower.

The finished basement includes a cozy rec room warmed by a brick, wood-burning fireplace that stands out against one wall. The fireplace includes two arched openings, one for wood storage. Carpet lines the room, which extends into a full-sized kitchen outfitted with a stove, space for a fridge and plenty of cabinets as well as space for a table.

French doors from here open to a covered, concrete patio outside.

Down another set of stairs, this side of the home offers another full laundry room with washer and dryer, a storage room that could double as a craft space and two additional bedrooms with closets. Most of the basement features full-sized windows that allow plenty of light to stream in.

This home also includes a full warranty.
