Looking for a little more space and peaceful country views? Check out this 3-bedroom home in the small town of Van Cleve! Sitting on a .41-acre lot surrounded by cornfields, this property offers the feel of country living with the convenience of a hard-surface road. Inside, you'll find a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas stove, spacious dining and living areas, plus the convenience of main-floor laundry and a half bath. Upstairs offers 3 good-sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and a nicely remodeled full bathroom. Newer carpet and vinyl flooring throughout portions of the home are another bonus! Outside, enjoy the large side deck and plenty of yard space. Need room for hobbies, vehicles, or projects? The 24x30 insulated garage with a wood-burning stove is a great setup, plus there's an additional shed with a concrete floor that is 16x20 and with two doors for even more storage. The house and garage also have newer vinyl siding, metal roofing, and gutters. A clean unfinished basement adds extra storage space. There's a lot to appreciate here, both inside and out.
