About the Listing RMASO-SU - 3183211

A nearly new one-owner home built in 2017 is turn-key ready for you and family. The charming neighborhood and serene town of Townsend offer local shopping, modernized schools, and short trips to Middletown. Modern appeal and recent updates, including fresh paint and kitchen updates of new 2025 granite, a stainless steel farm sink & goose-neck faucet, designer hardware, and more, have this appealing home looking new. Situated on a premium outside lot backing to woods and open space, with the tranquility of watching the moon and stars reflect on the large 2-acre pond. Fish and watch wildlife till your heart’s desire. Leading to a fully vinyl-fenced rear yard is an expansive multi-level deck with a waterfall staircase, complete with a shaded pergola and outdoor furniture. The front-shaded porch is complemented with furniture ready for sunrise with morning coffee. All this is ready for entertaining starting day one of your ownership. Offering more than one would expect, with 9-foot ceilings throughout the entire main level, this 4-5 bedroom home boasts a fifth bedroom on the main level, which could also be utilized as an office, den, or other amenity. The newly updated kitchen (6/2025) overlooks the breakfast room and living room, while also providing access to the open concept dining room, which can be outfitted as a wonderful sitting room. Large bedrooms on the upper level provide ample family living space with the master overlooking the back of the property, providing extended water views as well as the must-have on-suite master bath. Another must is the full-size laundry room complete with washer & dryer conveniently placed on the upper floor. As we move to the lower level, the home’s high-efficiency heating & air conditioning system is complemented with 200-amp electric with expansion room and a Manibloc® plumbing valve system, which makes plumbing control a breeze. Adorned with multiple windows, including an all-important egress window, they shed bountiful sunlight into this very usable area. This space is equipped for home entertainment, featuring games and a multi-purpose pool table, as well as four large wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. All furnishings are included for the new owner. Poised to be easily finished, the lower level is prepped with builder's plumbing rough-ins, ready for a full 3-piece bathroom to be effortlessly (and economically) installed. As you see fit, finishing this space will further increase the property’s value, boosting the home’s equity & your net worth. Come see this exceptionally fitting home today, as it is poised to make you move! YES, you can still purchase this home! Under contract with a kick-out clause. The seller is postponing showings.
