Welcome to the country lifestyle you've been dreaming of! Situated on 5 picturesque acres, this charming two-story farmhouse offers the perfect blend of timeless character, functional living, and incredible versatility. Start your mornings on the inviting front porch with a cup of coffee and peaceful country views, then step inside to discover a home designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The spacious main floor features multiple gathering spaces, including a formal dining room, welcoming living room, dedicated home office, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen complete with a large center island, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of room for family and friends to gather. Main-floor laundry and a convenient bathroom add to the home's practical layout. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the unfinished basement provides a blank canvas to create the space you've always wanted—whether that's a family room, home gym, recreation area, or additional storage. Adding even more value and peace of mind, the home will receive brand-new siding and a new roof this summer, giving the next owner a fresh exterior and a significant investment already taken care of. The true showstopper is the impressive radiant-heated shop, offering endless possibilities for work, hobbies, or your next big project. Complete with a finished wood-paneled room, private office featuring a large picture window, dedicated utility room, and an expansive shop with a large overhead garage door, this space is ready to accommodate everything from a home-based business to woodworking, vehicle storage, or your favorite hobbies.
