Welcome to 26421 Howard Chapel Dr, an exceptional retreat set on over an acre of peaceful countryside, surrounded by untouched land for ultimate privacy. Thoughtfully upgraded while retaining its timeless charm, this beautiful home offers the perfect blend of modern convenience, privacy, and serene living. The main roof, replaced in 2023, ensures lasting durability, complemented by the porch’s original metal covering—a classic touch that preserves its character. Inside, the stylishly renovated kitchen (2020) features sleek stainless steel appliances, while both the primary and upstairs full bathrooms have been beautifully updated. Adding warmth and ambiance, the cozy wood stove, installed in 2022, enhances the inviting atmosphere. Practical updates include a new hot water heater, a water neutralizer, and a whole-house water filter for added comfort. Step outside to the expansive 1,200 sq. ft. detached garage, offering ample parking and storage space. This garage is large enough to add two lifts, park 8 vehicles, or store a boat or an RV! The newly paved driveway (2023) provides additional parking and can also accommodate an RV or boat if needed. Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the town’s main shopping center (and Jimmy Cone!), this exceptional property delivers modern upgrades, abundant space, and peaceful surroundings—a rare combination for an unparalleled living experience. Note: Home was professionally measured at 1498 square feet of living space. It was entered at 1500 estimated to allow for human error and ensure it would not be missed on searches for homes 1500+ SF. OFFER DEADLINE: Please have all offers in by Monday May 5 at 2:00 PM. Thank you!
