With the exception of the two, main level bedrooms, the floors are either stone, wood or tile. The main level guest bedroom actually has carpet over pine board. To get some idea of what the finished pine board might look like, please view the photo tab for the laundry room. The interior walls on both levels are sheet rock with a neutral paint color that can be changed to meet the buyer's personal tastes.

Like any home, it is not perfect. The condition is fantastic, but there are some design/layout elements that could be improved and modified to fit the tastes of a range of buyers. For example, the basement could be modified into additional bedrooms or expanded living area or a mother-in-law suite. The only thing that is perfect about this home is the price. The sellers have priced this home with the intent to be one of the lowest priced large homes on a good water lot in this market.
