About This Home

As of January 2024

This home offers the perfect combination of a tranquil, rural setting and close proximity to major amenities. Easy, one-level living with lots of natural light and charming features such as a wood ceiling and wood-burning stove in the spacious family room. The eat-in-kitchen overlooks the tree-enclosed yard and all the bedrooms and the bathroom are conveniently located just down the hall. Do you have lots of vehicles or hobbies? Do you want to farm or raise livestock? Unrestricted 4.18 acres are waiting for you here. There are two detached two-car garages, offering plenty of parking and storage space, plus more run-in shed space than you know what to do with. There is a berm with a root cellar for storage and another single-car detached garage on the property, taking the total of garages to 3. The beautiful level lot has many mature trees, offering a lot of privacy. A little bit of sweat equity can go a long way in making this a perfect home. Property sold AS IS. New Roof in 2021, new water heater in 2021, septic pumped in 2021.
