About This Home

As of June 2016

Peaceful country living with an affordable price! I'm a large ranch home with over 2,000 square ft. My owner takes very good care of me. I have a formal dining room & a nice country style dining area & snack bar off of my kitchen. Everything is very open concept so you never have that left alone feeling. I have 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths on the main level. My 4th bedroom & bath are in the basement. There is no egress window, but I do have a full walk-out basement. I have not 1 but 2 working fireplaces. I am heated with oil along with a wood burning kicker. I sit on a beautiful 4 acres which includes the woods up to the creek. I'm literally mins. to Elkhart or New Carlisle. I have lots more to tell you but I'm out of space so please call & come out to see for yourself.
