About This Home

Welcome to your private country oasis in Benton Twp on two lots! This home has been lovingly maintained for decades and is now ready for its new owner. This is a chicken and animal lovers paradise with multiple well built pens, coops and sheds all privately fenced in. With multiple other fenced in areas, there is room for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. The well built carport is big enough to park an RV under, and there is an additional driveway for parking. The detached garage is fully insulated and has a working wood burner to stay warm while you're working on those cold winter nights. The home has fresh exterior paint and a newer roof and a very welcoming floor plan on the inside. All appliances are included and the seller is giving a flooring credit with acceptable offers so you can truly make this your own. Come schedule your showing today!
