What's special

Secluded and private setting

Tucked away on 1 acre m/l, this in-town property offers a secluded and private setting that still keeps you within easy reach of city amenities. A detached shop adds useful space for projects, storage, or whatever fits your needs. The home has seen key updates with a new HVAC system and water heater in 2020, and the kitchen appliances along with the washer and dryer will stay. The basement has been tiled for durability. Wildlife is a regular part of the surroundings, adding to the natural, country feel of the property.
