Visit the REALTOR website for further information about this Listing. Thoughtfully designed to support local biodiversity, this unique property features more than 250 species of native plants, along with ponds, a stream, woodpiles, a small meadow and wetland area. No pesticides are used, and approximately 95% of the plantings are native to the area. A complete list of planted native species is available. Rather than traditional turf grass, the landscape focuses on natural habitat, with pathways throughout and a dedicated vegetable garden area. The fully fenced backyard sits on a generous 55' x 192' lot. Built in 1947, the home has seen numerous updates including shingles (2007), foundation waterproofing (2015), concrete driveway and sidewalk (2016), full bathroom renovation (2019), kitchen renovation (2021), sump water-pressure backup, gas water heater and heat pump (2023), basement renovation (2025) and exterior paint (2026). Vinyl windows were installed approximately in 2000. The interior is finished in warm, light-neutral tones. The basement offers an open finished family room, adjacent cold room, laundry, furnace, central vac and storage/workshop space. Refrigerator and stove (2023), washer and dryer are included. A unique 10' x 10' roofed chain-link catio provides secure outdoor access for cats through a basement window and air-lock cubicle. A detached 1.5-car garage includes an opener, upper and lower cabinetry and countertop workspace. Additional features include a rear vinyl storage shed and potting area with sink behind the garage. A truly special home combining thoughtful updates with an exceptional nature-focused landscape. (id:374)
