About This Home

As of April 2025

Major Items: NEW roof (2025), NEW stainless steel appliances (2025) NEW HVAC and NEW Water Heater (2024)Welcome to your renovated, country oasis where modern meets country! With stunning updates throughout you will enjoy hanging out in your open concept floorplan with all your friends and family. Want to breathe in some of that fresh rural air? Head outside to your all season's patio to eat dinner or add a grill to one of the outside porches while you gaze upon your backyard which is an acre of pure nature (or if you look closely you'll see neighbor's sheep!). As an extra bonus the lower deck is perfectly framed out for you to add a pool and truly beat the summer heat! Not interested in a pool? Easily square off current deck. Too cold to go outside? No problem! Cook a pot of soup in your kitchen filled with brand new stainless steel appliances or, cozy up downstairs next to the wood burning stove with fresh carpet and your favorite book. Talk about a sanctuary right at home!

This house is truly a piece of art and has all the wow factors. Whether it's the slat wall breathing life into the space, the marble flooring in the bathroom, quartz countertops, or the timeless light fixtures - this house has the "it”factor. Three bedrooms on the first floor with the potential for a fourth bedroom in the basement! Don't need a fourth bedroom? Use the basement bonus room as a home office, gym, or deluxe mud room since it has a door right to the garage! How useful for those snowy or rainy days! Speaking of garage- this house has one large enough for two cars and room for tools or whatever else you need to store! This house truly will put your worries at bay with a. Welcome home!
