About This Home

Tucked away on nearly three peaceful acres, this charming Cape style home offers the perfect blend of cozy living and wide open space. Warm and inviting, the home features a practical layout that makes the most of every inch, with natural light filling the living areas to create a bright, comfortable atmosphere throughout. A covered porch just off the kitchen provides the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and take in the sights and sounds of nature.
Outside, the property truly shines. A detached two car garage offers ample space for vehicles, storage, and outdoor gear, while a heated two story workshop is ideal for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. The property also includes a pole barn and raised garden beds, adding even more versatility. For those seeking a more self sufficient lifestyle, the chicken coop brings a touch of country charm and opportunity.
