About This Home

What a Gem! Nestled on 8.45 scenic acres, this beautifully updated 3 bed / 3 bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience—tucked away among mature trees and open meadows, yet just minutes from town. The open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area features charming exposed wood beams and a stunning picture window that fills the space with natural light. A spacious loft serves as the third bedroom, offering elevated views of the serene surroundings. Recent updates include a new deck, new Pella windows (including picture, kitchen, bathroom, master, and all upper-level windows), a brand-new half bath, an updated laundry area, and a newer furnace and A/C. The oversized 32' x 32' garage adds extra functionality. This is country living with modern comfort
