This idyllic setting offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern updates plus there’s plenty of room to grow!

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, built in 1978, has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for nearly 30 years. The house boasts a beautifully updated kitchen with almond-colored cabinets to the ceiling, granite countertops set against stainless steel appliances with faux brick backsplash–all overlooking the large Gathering Room with its cozy, stone fireplace. Just imagine a quiet country morning, sipping a cup of coffee, watching cows graze, as nature slowly come alive from your kitchen! You can enjoy the same view through the large windows in the Master Bedroom that features dual walk-in closets and an updated master bath with a walk-in shower and vanity with popular linen towers that keeps much needed items within reach. Updates and upgrades include but are not limited to: roof replaced in 2013, septic system updated in 2020, windows updated in 2007, a new HVAC system in 2017, and new siding in 2004, hardwood flooring in the Master Bedroom and formals and either ceramic tile or laminate throughout the rest of the home. The side entry garage adds convenience and functionality with its extra depth –23′ x 23′.

The barn, measuring 36′ x 48′, boasts a concrete center isle and includes six oversized stalls–currently opened up to 3 stalls without the dividers, a tack and feed room, and in 2007, the Owner added an additional 36′ x 30′ workshop to the rear of the barn that is outfitted for woodworking but it can be used for any number of hobbies, office space, additional stalls, etc.. maybe even an extremely popular barnominum!!
