Welcome to your enchanted forest oasis where nature, charm, and opportunity come together on over half an acre. Tucked beneath a canopy of trees and surrounded by fruit and berry plants, this property feels like a hidden retreat with unlimited potential.
The updates are already in place for peace of mind: a brand-new HVAC (2024) keeps things comfortable year-round, the metal roof has been revamped and freshly insulated, and the well pump provides your water supply. Inside, the Weatherization Assistance Program has already handled the attic cleanup and added new insulation, so you can move in with confidence.
Accessibility is built right in with an 80-foot front ramp & another ramp out back, while the sprawling yard offers endless possibilities from gardens and play spaces to outdoor entertaining under the trees.
If you’ve been searching for a place that blends privacy, character, and the magic of nature, this one is ready to become your personal sanctuary.
