Property Description
This isn't your typical layout, and that's part of the charm. Walk into a large foyer that sets the tone, then head into the living room where a wood burning fireplace makes it feel instantly cozy.
Off to the left, the kitchen has already had a glow up with soft close cabinets and leathered countertops, blending style with everyday function. There's also a mudroom that serves as the perfect drop zone, because real life needs a place to land.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including two generously sized rooms, one of which features its own fireplace for a cozy and unexpected touch that makes the space feel extra special. You'll also appreciate the fresh paint and brand new carpet throughout the upstairs.
Out back, you'll find a fenced yard with a partial white picket fence, plus a paver patio, fire pit, and hot tub that create a space you'll actually use. With open land just beyond the yard, you still get that added sense of privacy without losing usability. And on quieter days, you can even hear church bells in the distance, adding to the charm of the setting.
You'll also find great storage with a garage and two sheds, plus peace of mind with HVAC less than three years old, roof replaced in 2022 and new electrical panel w/lighting surge protector in 2025.
It's not cookie cutter, and that's exactly the point. If you're looking for something with character, privacy, and a location that makes life easy, this might just be the one.
