Unique opportunity to own a 4 bedroom home centered around all of the hustle and bustle of Hillsboro! Located on Wood Street and right across from Central Park and the new walking trail, you have easy access to tons of recreational activities! There are Pickleball courts, basketball, a playground, a ball field, & more! You're also within walking distance of downtown! It wouldn't take but just a couple of minutes to walk up town to grab a coffee or go see a movie! Super convenient during Old Settlers! If that wasn't enough, how about a home sitting on 1.57 acres! That's right! Complete with seller-owned solar panels (36 panels installed by Mondine Electric in 2019), an extra garage/storage shed, fruit trees, blueberry bushes, black raspberry bushes, and a large garden space. There's a wrap-around back deck that overlooks the picturesque views of the changing trees & walking trail. You'll also get to enjoy those views while sitting in your hot tub because this one stays! The home has been updated with Pella double sashed windows replaced in '05, a Pella sliding door, on demand water heater, hardwired smoke detectors, a new sewer line was replaced from the foundation to the main just 2 years ago. In 2005 there was an addition added & at that time new wiring completed. The original part of the house had a new roof installed just 2 years ago! The basement includes a semi finished family room that's 11X27 and tons of storage options. There's a one car attached garage for even more storage or just in time to keep your car covered from the upcoming snow. You have to see this one for yourself!
