Finished walk-out basement doubles living space.
$219,900
A redesign of the original floor plan of this brick ranch opened up the kitchen, creating a large gathering space while a full finished basement nearly doubles the living space.
Listed for $219,900 by Domescik and Associates Inc., the home at 3560 Echo Spring Trail has about 1,520 square feet of living space on the main level, plus the walk-out basement.
The house sits on a corner lot with a large side yard, terraced back yard with stone steps and paverbrick patio. There is a storage shed, paver-brick driveway to the two-car garage and a sunken covered patio that has access to the basement. Vinyl and glass-block windows are throughout.
Formal entry opens into a foyer hallway that wraps around to the bedroom wing and bathrooms. Directly off the hallway to the left is the formal living room with hardwood flooring that continues into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. A stone, woodburning fireplace is the centerpiece to the room, and the fireplace has a raised hearth and stone mantel.
At the back of the house is the kitchen and dining room. The original floor plan was opened up about two years ago, and detailed hardwood floors accent the space divisions of a formal dining room with a closet, breakfast room with patio doors to the Florida room. The kitchen features a portable island, painted cabinetry with updated hardware and open shelves. The kitchen has a pot hanger and comes equipped with a range, dishwasher and refrigerator.
Sliding patio doors open off the breakfast room to a Florida room with carpeting and ceiling paddle fan. The Florida room has a panoramic view of the terraced back yard and access to the paver-brick patio. Another door opens into the attached, two-car garage, which has access to the basement.
Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located off the foyer hallway. The main bedroom has a private bathroom with a ceramictile surround tub/shower, single sink, medicine cabinet and a tile floor.
The basement has been finished into a recreation room with a kitchenette or wet bar area. The family room has a wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchenette has a peninsula counter with sink. There are stainless-steel shelves and a refrigerator. Windows that are half above ground and half in wells fill the two rooms with natural light. A door from the kitchenette opens to the covered sunken patio with wroughtiron gates around window openings and the door well.
Off the family room is a hallway that leads to a sitting room that provides access to a third bedroom. This room has an egress window and double-door closet. Off the sitting room behind a sliding barn-door is a third full bathroom.
The bath was updated about two years ago and includes a fiberglass walkin shower and contemporary single-sink vanity.
Checker tile flooring is throughout the basement. A utility room is also in the basement.
The washer and dryer are included with the sale of the home and there is a folding counter. The hot water tank was installed in 2016. The house has central air conditioning and radiant hydronic baseboard heat. There is a dehumidifier and a water softener.
