The property now includes the original home plus an additional adjoining 5 acres, creating a rare oversized tract with wooded surroundings and room to breathe. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new interior paint and general cleanup, making it move-in ready while still offering the flexibility for future updates. Hardwood floors run through many rooms, with durable LVP flooring in the kitchen. French doors lead to a rear deck overlooking the wooded acreage, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat.
