If you've been searching for the perfect blend of country living with the convenience of being just minutes from town, this is your opportunity. Be sure to ask about USDA loan eligibility! Don't miss your second chance to own this spacious 5-bedroom ranch situated on over an acre on a desirable corner lot in the highly sought-after Seaman School District. This well-maintained home offers beautiful hardwood floors, multiple living areas, two fireplaces, and a finished basement with plenty of room for family, guests, a home office, or hobbies.
