About This Home
As of April 2026Enjoy the ultimate "best of both worlds" lifestyle on this 8.8-acre wooded estate just minutes from the town square. This 1,880 sq. ft. ranch offers a rare blend of country seclusion and in-town convenience. Inside, 10' ceilings and expansive west-facing windows flood the living room with natural light and frame peaceful views of the timber and local wildlife. The spacious kitchen—updated with a brand-new dishwasher and disposal—flows seamlessly into a dining area and onto a brand-new deck, perfect for watching the deer that frequent the yard.
The main level is designed for efficiency and comfort, featuring a vaulted primary suite with a jetted tub and walk-in closet, plus two guest bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath. Practicality is key with main-floor laundry and a half-bath located near the kitchen and garage entry. Beyond the layout, you’ll find peace of mind with major recent updates: a 2025 water heater, 2023 roof, 2022 A/C, and 2021 furnace.
For those looking to build equity, the massive unfinished basement is a blank slate to finish to your liking. It’s already plumbed for a full bath and features a framed room with a walk-in closet ready to become a 4th bedroom (with egress), plus space for a 5th bedroom or rec room. With property extending to W 8th St. N for potential future development, this is more than just a home - it’s a rare piece of land with endless possibilities. Schedule your tour today and see why this is the perfect place to grow!
