About This Home

Your Backyard Oasis Awaits!! Rare opportunity to own almost 2.5 acres in town, space like this simply doesn't come up often, whether you're dreaming of room to roam, a hobby farm, gardens, or just serious privacy. The big backyard is already set up for fun with an above-ground pool and playground in place, plus plenty of room left for gatherings, bonfires, or whatever you can imagine.

Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms (4 up, 1 down), more space than the assessor's records show, giving flexible options for a growing family, guests, or a home office. The home is also thoughtfully equipped with accessibility features: a ramp at the front deck, a handrail down the hallway, and a zero-entry shower. A few systems have already been taken care of for you: Solar panels are paid off, enjoy minimal heat bills; HVAC system is approximately 5 years old; Hot water heater replaced in 2022; Heated basement floors (not currently hooked up, ready for the next owner to activate); Water filtration system in place (not currently hooked up). A cement slab and steps from the upstairs are being added prior to closing (contractor is a few weeks behind schedule but on track to complete before closing). This is a home that needs some TLC, and for the right buyer with vision, that's exactly the opportunity — a chance to build serious equity on a property with a rare lot size, bonus square footage, and built-in outdoor amenities most in-town properties simply don't offer. This home is a must-see!!
