The basement also includes a large area, which has been used as a wood shop and workout room. The 1200 square foot home sits at the top of a hill in the center of a beautiful, 1-acre lot bordered on two sides by woods and overlooking a steep, wooded hill and valley to the west. Large oak, maple, ash and hickory trees provide shade and protection from winds while flower beds, flowering trees, and flowering bushes create a colorful setting for the little yellow house trimmed in brick red with cedar shingles. The large yard, block patio, sun porch, wooden deck and front porch provide plenty of space for play, relaxation, gardenin, and wildlife observation.
