About This Home

As of January 2021

Drive through a neighborhood full of private lakes to your new home nestled away from the street on a private 4-acre lot. Find true peace and quiet here. The large eat-in kitchen serves as a great hub for this well-built home. Cozy up by your traditional brick fireplace in the oversized den. A formal dining room to entertain and a separate den for you to spread out. Master’s suite plus two other bedrooms on the main. Look over your beautiful yard from the rocking chair front porch or enjoy a barbecue on your covered back patio. The downstairs basement is unfinished and perfect for any storage needs you may have. Or easily finish the basement with its tall ceilings. It could be an ideal inlaw with its own exterior entry. And don’t forget to meander along the trails through your naturally wooded yard.
