Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the spacious, well-planned floor plan with four bedrooms and plenty of room to gather, entertain, or simply spread out. But the real showstopper is outside. With 1.46 acres, you'll have room for summer parties, backyard games, a garden, chicken coup, firepit nights, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of having your own piece of land.
