This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence spans approximately 1,788 square feet and features a bright, open-concept layout filled with natural light and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout.

Rich hardwood flooring, oversized windows, freshly painted interiors, and newly installed designer light fixtures throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, exterior, and hallways further enhance the home’s polished presentation. Major mechanical and functional improvements provide additional peace of mind, including newer appliances with most approximately two years old, a refrigerator replaced within the last year, and a recently updated well pump. The home also includes a newer pellet stove, approximately 3–4 years old, accompanied by both pellets and wood for the wood-burning stove, offering warmth and ambiance throughout the colder seasons. In addition to the primary living spaces, the home features an expansive bonus room offering remarkable versatility for a home office, guest accommodations, recreation space, fitness studio, or additional lounge area tailored to a variety of lifestyle needs. One of the property’s most captivating features is the oversized rear deck spanning the back of the home, creating a spectacular extension of the living space with multiple seating and dining areas overlooking tranquil wooded surroundings. Whether hosting summer gatherings, enjoying quiet mornings with coffee, or relaxing beneath the stars, the outdoor setting captures the essence of refined country living. Additional highlights include central air conditioning, included washer and dryer, a SimpliSafe security system that may be expanded by future owners, and an oversized garage with an additional oil tank for supplemental heat.
