About This Home
As of August 2025Nearly 9 wooded acres of privacy surround this 3 BR, 2 1/2 baths two-story only 10 minutes from Kokomo (short distance to Galveston, Peru and Logansport). This home has approximately 2600 sq. ft. of living space with many nice features. A bold and beautiful stone, double FP that is floor to ceiling in the family room and a pretty highlight to the dining area. Attractive woodwork throughout the home with some open beam accents. Recent improvements include some new windows in '24, furnace in '24 and dishwasher replaced in '25. The home has geo-thermal heat. For the nature lovers there is a small stream through the property and a pretty deck on the back of the house to enjoy the seasonal changes. 22 x 24 Attached garage and a large pole barn with a concrete floor. Invisible fencing is available to keep track of the pets. A unique feature is a little "getaway" space off one of the BRs. The space is accessible by a permanent ladder and provides a space to "get away from it all!" If you want a home that is a "one of a kind," you might want to check this out. SELLER MUST CLOSE ON HOME OF CHOICE. SELLER CANNOT ACCEPT A CONTINGENT OFFER.
