From quiet mornings on the welcoming front porch to relaxing afternoons on the spacious screened-in porch and evenings gathered on the expansive back patio, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and solid oak hardwood floors in the living room and foyer create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the open-concept living area, while the kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, and a generous walk-in pantry. A main-floor full bathroom showcases granite countertops and distinctive dual copper sinks, while convenient main-floor laundry, an additional half bath, and access to the attached two-car garage add everyday functionality. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private retreat. Overlooking the living room, the adjoining loft is a standout feature with incredible versatility. Already equipped with a closet and window, this space offers the potential to be enclosed as a fifth bedroom, subject to applicable requirements, or transformed into a home library, private office, creative studio, or cozy reading retreat. The finished walk-out lower level provides even more room to spread out, featuring an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and generous space for entertaining, recreation, or hosting overnight guests. A separate unfinished storage area with electricity offers plenty of possibilities for a workshop, hobby space, or organized storage. Outside, the property truly shines with a fenced yard, established fruit trees, ample parking, and expansive areas of level ground. Whether you envision flourishing gardens, outdoor gatherings, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own acreage, there's room to make it happen. Located in the highly regarded Jefferson R-7 School District, Howe Crossing offers the added charm of a neighborhood with two lakes, all while maintaining that peaceful, tucked-away country feel. **An opportunity to make it your own!** The sellers recognize that buyers may wish to add their own personal touches and are willing to consider concessions toward flooring or cosmetic updates with an acceptable offer.
