About This Home

As of October 2022

Incredible find in Exeter Township! A 3 bedroom solid brick Rancher on 12 acres of open grassland, woods, tillable fields, bubbling brook, and panoramic views in multiple directions make this a Nature Lover's Paradise! Clean and Green! Fantastic overhead views as you look around and admire the surrounding vista from the wonderful hilltop which opens above, a true Star Gazer's dream! Your options are endless, whether it's cultivating or leasing your own land, letting your horses run and graze, hunting at your own pace, or simply enjoying everything the serene landscape has to offer. The home features a newer roof (2019), alternate heat and electric sources, updated 200 amp electric (2020), new ceiling fans, garbage disposal, and hardwood floors. It also has a large unfinished basement which can further add to any additional interior plans. The solar panels are active and in use, ready to lower your electric bill. There's open yard on every side of the home, making this a true house for every season and countless outdoor activities. A heated breezeway with updated powder room greets you upon entering, with a 2 car garage for your convenience, and plenty of parking space for all your vehicles and company in the private driveway. Can you truly afford for this gem to slip away?
