    What's special

    Escape to the quiet of the country without sacrificing convenience; this beautifully updated 3-story acreage sits just seconds outside of town. This spacious home features 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. It has been thoughtfully updated throughout, with a functional flow across all three levels, highlighted by the spacious kitchen with seating for four at the island. Granite countertops add even more beauty! A third-floor bonus room adds even more flexibility; use it as a 4th bedroom, playroom, home office, or media space. The heated 2-car garage is a standout, complete with a countertop and utility sink. It leads into a mud room with ample storage and a built-in bench seat. The oversized laundry room gives you room to spread out and get things done without the cramped feel of a typical setup. The kitchen pantry includes a sink, doubling as a wet bar — perfect for entertaining. Downstairs, a partially finished basement room is ready to become your home workout space. Start your mornings right on the inviting front porch, or head up to the second-floor balcony — facing east, it's the perfect spot to catch the sunrise with your coffee in hand. Outside, a separate outbuilding offers extra storage, workshop space, or room for hobbies and equipment; ideal for acreage living. The ginormous, AC/heated warehouse with dock door and 2 garage bays is negotiable. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own this updated, move-in-ready acreage!
