1.6-acre lot includes separate building with office
Contributing Writer
Nestled among the trees on a 1.6-acre lot surrounded by a creek, this three-bedroom tri-level is within a country oasis in Van Buren Twp.
Listed for $298,900 by Lyle Bixler Realty, the brick-and-vinyl house at 7849 Delisle Fourman Road has about 2,270 square feet of living space. The property includes the main house and a separate building that has office space and storage. A paved driveway allows for plenty of off-street parking and leads to the side-entry garage and the walk to the smaller building.
A stamped walkway leads from the drive to the paver-brick porch of the formal entry.
Inside, hardwood flooring fills the foyer and continues into the dining room. The foyer has a furniture nook and closet. To the left is the formal dining room with a bow window and electric fireplace. Spindled accented staircases are to the right and lead to the upper and lower levels.
An updated kitchen completes the circular floor plan of the main level as the dining room circles into the kitchen, which is accessible to the living room. A bar-like setting with hanging soffit lighting and Corian counter accents the cutout from the living room into the kitchen. Below the cutout is a buffet counter. A peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the dining room, which has patio doors that open to a stamped concrete patio.
Oak cabinetry fills the kitchen and includes a pantry cabinet next to the refrigerator nook. A double sink is below a window, and mosaic-glass backsplash accents the wall space between the oak cabinets and countertops. Appliances include a range, dishwasher and microwave. Access to the garage is off the kitchen.
Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are upstairs. The main bedroom is at the back of the house and has three separate bi-fold closets and a private bathroom, which has a walk-in shower, single-sink vanity and triple-mirror medicine cabinet.
Two more bedrooms have front-facing windows, bi-fold closets and overhead ceiling lights. The guest bath has a tub/shower and single sink within an oversized vanity.
The lower level has an L-shaped family room with four above-ground windows. A stone fireplace has a wood-burning insert, raised hearth and stone shelves. Tongue-and-groove paneling accents some of the wall space.
A laundry and utility room has hanging cabinetry, a walk-in storage closet and a rear door that opens to a concrete stairwell that leads up to the patio and back yard.
The separated brick building is finished on one side, allowing a possible office or hobby room with a private half bathroom. The other half has an overhead garage door to allow for garden equipment storage.
