With 2,350 square feet of living space, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, thoughtfully designed for comfort and functionality. Many upgrades were completed in 2006, enhancing both efficiency and livability. The updated kitchen with granite couuntertops flows into an open dining and living area highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings, creating a bright and airy atmosphere ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious family room provides additional gathering space, while the main-floor primary suite offers ease and privacy. An outdoor pellet furnace adds energy efficiency, complementing the home's practical upgrades. Attached to the rear of the home is an 18x24 workshop/storage area-perfect for hobbies, equipment, or additional workspace. Outside, enjoy a paved driveway leading to a detached two-car garage, along with a 12x28 Shelter Logic portable garage for extra storage. A large private deck overlooks the peaceful surroundings, ideal for relaxing or hosting, and a storage shed adds even more versatility. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy private country living with generous space, thoughtful amenities, and a convenient location.
