The Space:
"Time to Wine Down" is nestled in a community right off of Rt 151. The home sits on two acres with plenty of room to have fun in the yard or oversized patio. Our home was built in 1959 and has some character to it! Is a ranch cottage home with a basement. The home Includes: 4 bedrooms, 1 bonus room, 2 full bathrooms, main level family room, kitchen, dining room, basement family room, and laundry room. There is no master suite or master bathroom. All bedrooms have similar square footage. Three of the bedrooms have queen beds, one bedroom has a pair of twin beds, and a bonus room with a pair of twin beds. Amenities include: fully equipped kitchen, free fiber wifi, flat screen streaming TVs, private furnished patio, linens, towels, private driveway, and more.
One of the bathrooms has a stand up shower. The second bathroom has a shower/tub combination. Each bathroom includes towels, hair dryer, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. It's an older remodeled home so please keep in mind the bathrooms are still small.
The basement is a great place to play games, hang out and enjoy a cold beverage. The basement has an air hockey table for some competitive fun! The patio off the back of the basement has a table and chairs. And off to the side of the house is a large gathering spot with seating, large dining table, string lights, and fire pit. This location is a perfect spot to play corn hole, cook s'mores, and hangout around the fire pit. Enjoy!
