About This Home
As of July 2025This beautifully renovated home offers modern comfort on 10 peaceful, wooded acres. With a thoughtfully redesigned open floor plan, the home is bright and spacious, featuring soaring ceilings, a cozy wood-burning stove, and new finishes throughout making for a harmonious blend of modern amenities and serene country living.
An open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining - all updated with fresh paint, light fixtures, LVP flooring, a new roof, AC and more - plus wonderful views from the 530-square-foot, screened back porch.
The all-new kitchen is a standout, completely reimagined with a fresh layout designed for function and style. Custom white cabinetry provides ample storage, while luxurious quartz countertops offer both durability and elegance. A large island, finished with a bold navy base, adds a striking focal point and additional seating for casual dining. The kitchen also features stainless appliances, modern lighting fixtures, and great flow for both cooking and entertaining.
The split floor plan features a private master suite complete with lots of windows, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with quartz tops and a newly tiled walk-in shower. On the other side of the home, two large bedrooms each feature their own exterior glass door to access a screened porch area. The second bathroom has a double vanity with quartz tops.
Beyond the main residence - and perhaps the “piece de resistance” of the property - is a remarkable 1672-square-foot, 3-bay workshop, designed to accommodate a variety of needs. With 20-foot ceilings and three separate bay doors, this space is ideal for business owners, hobbyists, craftsmen, or anyone requiring substantial storage. The workshop also includes central air conditioning of the office, storage areas and another full bathroom with walk-in shower. This massive workshop is also features a 20x30 attached, covered carport.
