About This Home

Nestled among towering pines, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,634 square feet of comfortable living space on a generous ¾-acre lot, with no homes behind for added privacy and peace. Inside, the spacious living room welcomes you with a cozy fireplace, high ceiling, and a natural wood pillar in the dining area. Sunlight fills the dining space, while the kitchen features custom cabinetry, modern appliances, and ample countertop space for everyday meals or family gatherings. Wood vinyl flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and charm. Step outside and enjoy the backyard’s open field view, a patio draped with trumpet vines, and a garden-like sitting area that makes the perfect spot to relax or entertain. The property also includes a he-shed, a she-shed (one powered), a tool shed, and a versatile tiny home that can serve as a guest space or a creative studio. A fenced yard, side-entry garage, and covered front porch round out the home’s thoughtful features. With the fire department nearby and a community park featuring twin small lakes just down the road, this property seamlessly blends farmhouse comfort with a welcoming, down-to-earth lifestyle.
