5044 Prairie Path

Condo for Sale by Owner High on a hill, with an unobstructed view of the 53 acre Harlem Hills Prairie Preserve, sits this beautiful 3 bedroom 3 bath condo. Watch coyotes, deer, wild turkeys and birds from the dining room picture window, from the living room sliding doors, from the master bedroom windows, or from the oversize deck which borders the Prairie. An expanse of solid Brazilian Cherry flooring greets you as you enter the 1368 sq ft main level, covering the floors of the hall, kitchen, dining, and living rooms and continuing into the guest bedroom. A corner fireplace provides the focus for the angled flooring. The Master Suite with walk in closet is carpeted. The guest bath and master bath are tiled, as is the laundry room that leads to a two car attached garage with storage shelving. A wide carpeted staircase takes you down to a large family room with professional 9-foot slate bed pool table, a wall of cabinets and shelves, a cedar closet under the stairs, and a large storage closet. Adjacent is a generous bedroom and a tiled bath with Jacuzzi tub. There are also unfinished areas for storage and for mechanicals including a year 2000 water heater and year 2010 high efficiency condensing furnace and air conditioner. Preservation Pointe is not age restricted but has covenants intended to maintain the excellent appearance of the community. No rentals are permitted. Units must be owner occupied. Condo fees of $183 per month cover all exterior maintenance and repairs including roof and siding replacement, building insurance, lawn care and snow removal. Taxes in 2010 were $2855. We have lived here for five years and have enjoyed the prairie, the peace and quiet, and our caring friendly neighbors who keep an eye on the place when we go south for the winter. We have decided that it makes more sense to move south and travel north in the summer, but we leave with considerable regret. This is a by owner sale. We request that agents not contact us unless their client is prepared to pay their fee. kentcandoit@hotmail.com or phone 815 222 3005 for appointment.
