Hidden from the road upon a hill, this diamond in the rough Cape Cod offers a great room addition and an upstairs main bedroom suite.
Listed for $112,900 by LeValley Realty Inc., the brick-and-vinyl home at 7555 Peters Pike has about 2,460 square feet of living space. The house sits on a one-acre property within Butler Twp., and the property has a concrete driveway with extra parking pad that leads to a two-car garage and a back yard surrounded by a corral fence.
At the front of the home, a brick wall surrounds a concrete patio, creating a private courtyard setting while the formal entrance has a covered porch. A more casual entrance opens directly into the great room.
Formal entry opens into a foyer that leads to the circular floor plan of the original home. To the left is the formal living room with decorative fireplace and triple front windows that look out into the court yard. To the right is the breakfast room, which is divided from the kitchen by a peninsula counter. The kitchen has a double sink below a window, a cooktop and a wall oven. In addition to the peninsula counter, cabinetry fills three walls and includes a pantry cabinet.
Access to the great room is off the kitchen. The great room is an addition to the original floor plan and offers two levels with a possible dining area on the upper level and a family room setting three steps down to the lower level. Patio doors open to the back yard. There are wood beam accents and a decorative fireplace. The great room needs some repair as walls flanking the fireplace are unfinished.
Off the back of the kitchen and accessible from the living room is a hallway that leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a furniture nook with recessed lights above. Both bedrooms have large closets. The bath features a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.
A hidden stairwell leads to the finished upstairs which is currently set up as the main bedroom suite. The staircase ends within a common room with built-in storage options. A full bathroom offers a ceramic-tile surround shower and single-sink vanity. Another room offers a large walk-in closet option or could be an office. The third room is the bedroom with closets, built-in storage and window nooks.
The basement is accessible from the great room and could offer additional living space with a recreation room. The divided basement has unfinished space where the mechanicals and laundry hook-ups are located. There is also a storage room.
