Who says you can't have space AND be right in town? This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on nearly an acre, giving you the elbow room you want without sacrificing the convenience of town living. Inside, you'll find updates galore, including a gorgeous chef's kitchen that might just inspire you to start a cooking show. Featuring granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a breakfast bar, it's the perfect place to whip up pancakes, host friends, or pretend you're on a cooking competition. The beautifully refinished hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout the home, while the layout offers flexibility with one bedroom on the main floor and two additional bedrooms upstairs, plus a bonus room that's just begging to become the ultimate kid hangout, game room, or movie lounge. The bathroom situation? Upgraded in style with a tiled walk-in shower featuring double showerheads-because sometimes one showerhead just isn't enough. Step outside and you'll find a stamped concrete patio ready for summer BBQs, relaxing evenings, and maybe a few brag-worthy backyard gatherings. And then there's the barn. But calling it a barn almost feels unfair. This thing is basically a man cave on steroids. With room for up to four cars, heat throughout, and an upper-level storage area (or future pool table headquarters), it's the kind of space that makes hobbyists, car lovers, and tinkerers weak in the knees. If you've been searching for a home with character, updates, space to spread out, and a legendary outbuilding, this one might just check every box-and then some.
