About This Home

As of July 2016

Very unique home on the north side with over an acre of land with mature trees and a wide assortment of plant life. Looks can be deceiving when you first pull up the road to view this home. Complete privacy awaits you in this pole barn style home with a wrap around deck. As you enter the home you will notice the cathedral ceilings, open concept layout, and special little touches here and there. The master is in the loft area and has it's own bath. There are two more bedrooms on the main level. The garage is very large and originally used to construct air planes, and then by car aficionados, so there are lots of outlets, a work bench, storage, and it is heated. Located only minutes from everything, yet the feel of being out in the country. This rare find will certainly get a lot of looks online.
