139 SHOEMAKER LANE, VANDALIA

Offering open social areas with additional living space in the basement, this two-story, Colonial-style home is located in the Stoney Crest neighborhood in northern Montgomery County.

Listed for $289,900 by Keller Williams Home Town Realty, the brick-and-vinyl house at 139 Shoemaker Lane has about 1,720 square feet of living space plus the finished family room. The property is tucked back on a cul-de-sac within a gated community that includes a play park, common areas and walking trails.

The house has a two-car garage, and the white-vinyl corral fence along the back yard is maintained by the homeowners association.

Recent updates to the house include wood-laminate flooring throughout the main level and an updated vanity in the half bathroom. The house has a whole-house air cleaner, eco-thermostat and an electric air-filter.

Formal entry opens into a foyer hallway where the wood-laminate flooring begins and continues into the great room and kitchen area. To the right, a partial wall hides the stairwell that leads to the second floor. To the left, a door provides access to the half bathroom with a white vanity with extended bowl sink and another opens into a guest closet.
