In a kid friendly town it’s hard to imagine a more kid friendly house than this one. Situated on a large lot on a quiet road, this is a great house in which to raise a family. The main floor is well laid out with the master bedroom and the two kids rooms on the same floor; assuring that Mom and Dad can hear if the kids have any problems. Wall-to-wall carpeting warms the main living areas. The kitchen and dining areas are spacious and well laid out. Downstairs is unfinished and available for whatever needs suit the new owners. There is plenty of space to create a family or game room. The oversized two-car garage also has lots of storage, and its own walk out door to the driveway.
A large deck wraps around two sides of the home, and has a nice view of the back yard, and the mountains. In the yard is a swing set, the driveway, and a parking pad on the upper level just off the front door. Everyone knows that the Ellicottville area is known for its non-school related activities such as skiing, golf, and hiking; but in fact, both the school district (Franklinville) grammar and high schools, are considered excellent. Many graduates go on to the major universities. Why would you want to raise kids anywhere else? For more information about this home contact Team Pritchard at (716) 699-4800.

The deck commands a view of the back yard as well as the distant mountains.

Just off the kitchen is the dining room. The linoleum floor keeps spills under control, and there is a sliding glass door to the deck.

The roomy kitchen has Corian counter tops, oak cabinets, a corner sink with windows, and a breakfast bar. It also has access to the deck to keep the barbeque close by.

The master bedroom is on the same floor as the kids bedrooms, for a little extra peace of mind. It has access to the deck and its own large bath.

The living room is painted in calming soft pastels, and wall to wall carpeting provides warmth underfoot.
