A large living room with huge bay window, wood fireplace and entryway closet complete this area. Down the hall, you will find three bedrooms and another full bathroom all trimmed in cherry. A full unfinished basement with walk out storm cellar access for storage or workshop with several rooms available.

Outside, a lovely front porch is ready to quiet moments and nature surrounds you on 5 tranquil acres, complete with a private pond and a large 39'x 39' outbuilding—ideal as a workshop, creative studio, or entertainment space with water and heat. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, weekend getaway, or a forever home with room to grow, this property delivers a rare mix of space, charm, and potential.
