Imagine a private homestead with room for horses and hobby-farm animals. This two-story home sits on nearly three acres surrounded by open space and mature trees. The Neal Smith Trail is just down the lane! Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, a striking brick fireplace, and a large sunroom that brings in tons of natural light. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and connects to a dining area and generous living space. A spacious flex room on the main level can easily serve as a family room, home office, or mudroom—whatever fits your lifestyle. There’s a ½ bath and laundry area on the main floor. Upstairs are three roomy bedrooms and a full bath. A connecting 4th bedroom area serves well as an office, nursery, or toy room. Step outside to enjoy evenings on the expansive deck or gather around the firepit under the stars. A detached three-car garage offers plenty of storage plus a home for the dogs. With new roof and mechanicals in ‘22 including the septic, water heater, sump pump, garage doors, and HVAC, this property is turn-key. A home warranty is included for added peace of mind.
