About This Home

As of July 2023

Welcome home to this peaceful and private traditional ranch home, situated on 4.3 lush acres with one full acre of prairie on the east side of the property and unending country views. Driving down the lane, you feel instant calm, surrounded by many mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, perennials, and a sweet garden pond with waterfall. The cozy and bright kitchen has been updated to have a more open concept to the adjacent sitting area with an oversized stone surround fireplace. The soft kitchen cabinetry allows for plenty of storage space, there is a small breakfast bar, a sliding door to a large and sunny outdoor deck, and a formal dining space that connects you to nature. Family can gather together in the warm main living room or there is a fabulous oversized lower level recreation room with a second fireplace, wood accent on walls, and convenient built ins. With three bedrooms on the main and an additional non-conforming fourth in the lower level, there is room for everyone. Both the main floor and lower level bathrooms have been remodeled and there is an easy entry shower for aging in place. Hobbyists will surely enjoy the two bonus rooms in the lower level, to be used as an exercise room, shop, art studio, or whatever you wish for. Store your boat, toys, or gardening necessities in the 28' x 36' second garage. Children and grandchildren will be sure to enjoy the green spaces, with a little walking path through the natural prairie, room for a fire pit, garden, and so much more. New septic in 2016, there is a newer water heater, and 200 amp electrical service. Located close to downtown West Branch, on just over one mile of gravel, you will be sure to enjoy this secluded property and clean, neat, move in ready home!
