Pride of ownership shines throughout this well-constructed and meticulously maintained 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath retreat. The first floor features gleaming wood floors, a cozy open floor plan, well-appointed kitchen, woodstove, shiplap paneled walls, laundry area, and full bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious bedroom offers vaulted ceilings and a half bath. Rustic charm and thoughtful comforts blend seamlessly throughout.
Relax on the rocking chair front porch overlooking the manicured lawn and perennial gardens, while a seasonal stream and pond add to the property's natural beauty. A surrounding hardwood forest provides outstanding privacy along with a steady source of firewood. The home is equipped with a 200 amp electrical panel powered by either a whole-house generator or photovoltaic battery bank, with optional propane lighting as an additional feature. A standing seam metal roof, covered rear storage area ideal for firewood, oversized 2-car garage, and two 12'x12' sheds provide excellent functionality and storage. An exceptional opportunity to embrace a peaceful, self-sustainable lifestyle. Additional pictures coming soon.
