About This Home

As of April 2020

Eleven-plus acres of Brown County-like beauty and privacy between Martinsville and Mooresville. This home is in near perfect condition (2nd owner, lightly lived-in, only adults have resided here). Low maintenance as the entire exterior is brick. Interior is freshly painted, newer flooring throughout and ready for you to move in. Basement has a humongous Rec Room with a bar and a 16x18 room perfect for a fully furnished gym. The upper and lower levels each have incredible decks that run the entire length of the house and more. The lower deck has a metal roof so you enjoy the out-of-doors when it rains. Don't miss the gazebo and fire pit!
