About 8470 Vernon Rd
Welcome to this WELL-MAINTAINED home offering comfort, functionality, and exceptional storage in a PEACEFUL setting. Built in 1980 and owned by the same family since it was purchased directly from the builder, this approximately 1,500-square-foot property presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers seeking a solid home with thoughtful updates and room to make it their own. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious main living area that creates a welcoming place to relax or gather with family and friends, which features clean carpeting in good condition. The kitchen and dining area combine CHARM AND PRACTICALITY with durable tile flooring and attractive updates. Granite countertops and a tile backsplash add a modern touch, while the solid wood, custom-built Amish cabinets provide both beauty and FUNCTIONALITY. These cabinets include convenient pull-out shelves for easy organization. The home offers THREE BEDROOMS on the main level, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements, and the main-floor bathroom has been updated for accessibility and features a walk-in shower that was installed for the previous owners. Just off the office is a charming SUNROOM that features a unique wood ceiling and offers a cozy area to relax or enjoy views of the yard. A standout feature of the home is the large FINISHED ATTIC, accessed by a full staircase. This versatile space includes a closet and a second bathroom, and although the attic does not currently have heating or air conditioning, a mini-split system could easily be added to make the space comfortable year-round. The area offers great potential as a playroom, additional bedroom, or creative space. The property also includes a full unfinished basement that provides ABUNDANT STORAGE and room for future projects. Additional highlights include a detached two-car GARAGE, and a separate WORKSHOP or tool shed. With its updated kitchen, flexible spaces, and major system improvements already completed, this home offers excellent value and potential.
