About This Home

As of August 2025

This secluded acreage offers a beautiful home...pretty much all of the interior was updated during the past year: Laminate flooring & tile, doors, trim, lighting, blinds, switches, etc. But, there's more! A patio, deck & firepit for outdoor entertaining. A flat, 3.22 A yard for games & gardens. 125 newly planted trees, inc. apple & plum. A heated garage w/pet door in place (just add the kennel). A 40'x75'x14' newly renovated, heated shop for a business, storing equipment & 'toys', or an over-sized man cave. An opportunity to have pets & 4-H projects. And, check out the historic round barn...great for conversation or a project! Buyers will appreciate updated shingles (2025) on the house & garage, as well as the newer mechanicals, well & septic. Enjoy the outdoors? Nearby Crystal Lake offers boating & fishing, w/public hunting ground nearby. The interior of the home, painted in a neutral decor, has beautiful laminate flooring throughout...except for the bath. The eat-in kitchen features updated cabinets, countertops, SS appliances & a W-I pantry. The kitchen opens to the LR, w/deck access. Light flows into the K-Dining/LR thru numerous windows. The primary BR has a W-I closet w/organizers, & the second BR also includes a custom system. The modern bath accommodates a large vanity, shower w/rain & standard shower heads & the washer/dryer (included). The LL, w/poured walls, is ready to finish. This acreage offers a great home & shop. But, more than that, it offers a lifestyle!
