If you've been dreaming about country living with room to spread out, a quality outbuilding, and a home that's already been thoughtfully updated, this property deserves your attention. Situated on 2.76 beautifully maintained acres just outside Auburn, this 1.5-story home offers the privacy buyers are searching for while keeping everyday conveniences right at your fingertips. Set well back from the road behind a mature tree line, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with very little traffic thanks to its location near the end of the road. The property features a 40x60 outbuilding, metal roof, open floor plan, main-floor laundry, stainless steel appliances, large deck, covered front porch, and a floor plan that provides both flexibility and character. Major updates include Pella windows, HVAC system, and water heater all replaced in 2023, giving buyers confidence in some of the home's most important components. Having successfully operated as an Airbnb, the property also offers potential as an income-producing investment or guest retreat. The setting is what draws you in first. As you pull in, the tree line naturally creates separation from the road and gives the property a private, secluded feel. The beautifully manicured grounds make a great first impression, while the covered front porch provides the perfect spot for morning coffee and watching the world slowly wake up. Out back, the spacious deck becomes the place where you'll spend evenings grilling, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. Inside, the open floor plan allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to work together naturally. Whether you're hosting family gatherings, keeping an eye on the game while cooking, or enjoying everyday life, the layout makes the home feel connected and inviting. Main-floor laundry adds convenience and practicality that you'll appreciate every day. The living room and dining room feature attractive wood-look laminate flooring that adds warmth and durability while complementing the home's updated feel. The kitchen has been nicely updated with stainless steel appliances and offers the functionality today's buyers are looking for. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, while the upper level serves as a true owner's retreat. The spacious primary suite is complemented by a separate loft area just outside the bedroom that could serve as a sitting room, home office, workout area, reading room, or additional living space. It's the kind of flexible area that adapts to whatever stage of life you're in. The walkout basement offers additional living space and future potential. A large recreation room with ceramic tile flooring, bar area, and half bath provides a great foundation for entertaining, hobbies, or gatherings. With a little finishing work, the lower level could become an even more valuable extension of the home's living space. Outside, the 40x60 outbuilding is a tremendous asset. Whether you need workshop space, storage for equipment, recreational vehicles, hobby space, or room for a business operation, you'll appreciate both the size and condition of the building. Combined with the acreage and privacy, it creates a property that is difficult to duplicate. Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find—private, updated, move-in ready, and close enough to Auburn that restaurants, schools, fuel, groceries, and other daily conveniences are just minutes away. This is country living without giving up convenience.
