About This Home

Step back to simpler, quieter time in the sweet community of Bethel. Sit on the deck and enjoy the mountain and pastoral views after spending the day refining your favorite hobby in your spacious shop or running your business. You will find beautiful hardwood floors in the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. The kitchen floor was recently updated. There is a flue between the kitchen and living room. The large laundry room was once used as a bedroom and leads to the deck on the side of the home. The shop is fully insulated, on a concrete slab with plenty of pavement out front, with a phone line, and water. Electricity for the shop is metered separately from the house. There is also a building that would be great for chickens and a garden spot. ***ATTENTION VETERANS: THE CURRENT VA LOAN IS ASSUMABLE.***
