Offered for the first time by the original owners, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that reflects a different era of homebuilding—where practical design, spacious layouts, and quality construction took priority. The single-level, 1,933-square-foot home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, skylights, formal and informal dining spaces, and a thoughtful layout designed to meet the demands of everyday living. Highlights include a spacious walk-in pantry, mudroom off the attached 2-car garage, breakfast nook w/ patio access, A/C, and a private primary suite with ensuite bath. Fresh interior paint and newly stained cedar siding provide a great start, while the home's solid construction offers an excellent opportunity to build continued equity. The value continues beyond the home to the property - w/ more than 9 acres of land, an established apple orchard, greenhouse, 36' x 40'+ shop with dedicated workroom, and interior RV parking, this is the kind of property that's becoming increasingly difficult to replicate—and even harder to find in such a coveted location. The combination of usable acreage, established outbuildings, and a convenient mid-county location offers flexibility for everything from hobby farming and home-based projects to storing equipment & recreational vehicles. Whether you're looking for room to grow, a property with equity opportunity, or a place to put down roots for the next generation, this is an opportunity is not to be missed.
