The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, multiple bonus rooms, an office, dining room, and a full kitchen, with original hardwood floors and cabinetry thoughtfully restored. The downstairs bath has been tastefully updated while preserving its vintage style. Outdoors, you’ll find a picturesque mini lake with a fountain, charming bridge, a custom-built treehouse (Game Room), and a gazebo—ideal for relaxing, fishing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the landscape.

A detached garage and outbuilding make it a great fit for hobbyists or creatives.
