If you've dreamed of a rustic cottage tucked away in the woods, this is the perfect place for you. Surprisingly spacious, this home includes a full basement. You'll find this charmer at the end of a private driveway. The wooded setting on a quiet road with both newer and older homes in the heart of Matthews is perfect for someone who wants to get away but still enjoy the amenities of nearby downtown Matthews.
The wide front porch welcomes your guests and gives you a space to enjoy nature. Step inside and you'll find an open floor plan with beautiful wood flooring in the great room and dining room. A handsome masonry fireplace creates a cozy spot for cool winter evenings. A built-in desk with shelving is part of this room. The dining room accommodates a large table. Floor-to-ceiling windows and atrium doors to the deck in this area create opportunities for enjoying the trees and watching birds.
Pretty wood cabinetry warms the efficient kitchen. Appliances include a smooth top stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. The kitchen includes a breakfast area set into a bay window. A coffee bar with additional cabinetry is found here. A powder room and the laundry are located adjacent to the kitchen. The washer/dryer and laundry table remain.
The basement has space for all your activities. It includes heated space with a large recreation room and unheated space with a workshop area and a studio. A second fireplace with wood stove is found in the basement recreation room. There is plenty of room for the pool table, which remains with the home. A 13'x14' basement room is currently used as a music studio. With an outside entrance, it would be perfect for a home office or a workshop. It's cool in the summer and heated with a space heater in the winter.
You can relax or entertain on the deck at the back of the house. It's sheltered by mature trees making it shady and cool in the summer. If you love outdoor living, you'll find the perfect spot for all your pursuits whether on the big deck extending across the back of the house or in the yard. Imagine the fun of a fire pit or a quiet walk in this big wooded yard. A tree swing or tree house would be at home here.
Downtown Matthews is just a few minutes away, within walking distance if you like. You can shop at the farmers market, go the the post office or library, find a great restaurant or attend a community festival in the historic center of this small town.
