Nestled just outside the New Athens city limits, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on 5.47 acres and offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and outdoor enjoyment. The property features a 30’ x 50’ pole barn with concrete floor and electric—ideal for storage, hobbies, or a workshop—along with a scenic pond and room to roam.
Outdoor living shines here with a large deck off the sunroom that connects to the above-ground pool and hot tub, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Owned solar panels significantly reduce the electric bill, adding long-term value and efficiency. The grounds feature established, mature fruit trees, including pear, plum, peach, and nectarine varieties, enhancing the property’s landscape.
Inside, you’ll find an inviting open floor plan between the living room and large kitchen. The kitchen is well-appointed with a built-in double oven and an electric cooktop (only two years old), plus a gas hookup is already in place for those who prefer to convert to gas. The main level includes a dining room, bedroom, full bath, laundry, and a comfortable family room.
Upstairs offers two ensuite bedrooms, providing privacy and convenience. The full unfinished basement provides excellent storage and future potential.
A rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living with thoughtful features and space to grow.
