This picturesque mid-century farmhouse on 1.3 fenced acres offers a unique blend of city convenience and rural tranquility with 10 ditch shares for gardening or horses, and an expansive garage. Built in 1954 and recently updated, the south-facing rancher has hardwood floors throughout, large living and dining areas, a charming eat-in kitchen with fresh tile accents, original hardwood cabinets and new gas range oven and dishwasher, and dining room leading to a covered back porch and large patio for entertaining. The spacious bath featuring a walk-in shower has been updated with a new counter and light fixtures, and the laundry room has a utility sink, window and shelving. Adjacent to the house is a nearly 350 foot heated extra building with storage cabinets that can tailored to your needs as a guest house, gym, or art studio. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the 1200 sq ft garage, complete with a workshop, providing abundant space for up to 6 vehicles and unlimited projects. There's ample RV parking and 10 ditch shares for livestock, horses, or farming. Your rural adventures are further enhanced with a chicken coop, dog run, large storage shed, and vibrant heirloom flowers, and fruit trees.
