    What's special

    Partially finished pole-barn-style shopLarge room sizesNew flooringBrand-new drywallHigh ceilingsAbundant natural light throughoutSpacious layout
    Welcome to this newly renovated farmhouse with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths combining unique architecture with modern peace of mind. Featuring high ceilings, large room sizes, and abundant natural light throughout, the entire home has been refreshed with brand-new drywall and new flooring. The spacious layout flows seamlessly into a kitchen that is less than one year old and equipped with appliances under three years old. Designed for everyday convenience, the laundry room is situated on the second level alongside the majority of the bedrooms. Enjoy morning coffee or evening relaxation on the brand-new front deck, and take advantage of the partially finished pole-barn-style shop—ideal for hobbies, mechanical projects, storage, or a custom workspace. ?Major mechanical systems—including the furnace/heat pump, central A/C, and water heater—are all under ten years old, offering exceptional efficiency and long-term reliability. Enjoy immediate equity potential in this newly updated home. The second-floor bath and laundry room combo comes pre-plumbed with all rough-in plumbing (supply and drain lines) ready for your tile and vanity selections, alongside straightforward finishing trim work to complete the home's total refresh. Beyond the main living areas, this home offers extraordinary value-add potential and smart utility flexibility. A spacious attic provides the ideal layout to finish and create substantial extra square footage, while the open-concept basement features existing rough-in hookups prepped to easily add another 1.5 bathrooms. Enhancing long-term affordability, the 500-gallon LP propane tank is completely owned and conveys free and clear with the property—eliminating recurring tank lease fees and granting full freedom to shop around for the most competitive heating fuel rates every season. Property is being sold in strictly AS-IS condition. The seller will not make, contribute to, or complete any repairs or improvements prior to or following closing, regardless of whether requested by the buyer or required by a mortgage lender.
