Where the freedom of country living meets the convenience of town, this truly unique in-town acreage offers a setting that feels like your own private retreat! Surrounded by mature trees, open prairie, blooming lilacs, and raspberry bushes, this peaceful oasis delivers the space to roam, relax, entertain, and enjoy nature while still benefiting from hard surface roads, city water, and city sewer. 2 parcels combine for an incredible 38.17 acres of perfection! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has seen numerous improvements throughout the years, including updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, a steel roof and more! A sunny south facing sunroom provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views year round. The partially finished lower level features a cozy wood-burning stove, wet bar with sink and beverage cooler, storage space, and plumbing already in place for a potential future bathroom. Outside, enjoy evenings around the fire pit (swings to stay) while taking in the serene beauty that surrounds you. The insulated 30x40 Morton building with in-floor heat and electricity, and another 36x40 steel utility building, provide endless possibilities for hobbies, workshop space, storage, or recreational vehicles. Also, residents may take advantage of the Worth County Development Authority scholarship program! More than just a home, this is the kind of place people DREAM about...where life feels a little quieter, a little slower, and a whole lot more enjoyable!
