The Garden Retreat. Tucked back on a road you probably never heard of is this lovely single-story home. Stop and smell the flowers...this is a botanical wonder on 4 acres. Enjoy the garden view from the front porch or sit a spell and contemplate life in the covered patio with flowers and a fishpond. View the pasture from the garden porch. Step inside to a wonderful Living Room with wood ceilings and a gas parlor stove. The kitchen is lovely with a center island and is open to the dining room. The guest room is good sized, and the primary bedroom has a sitting area and double closets. The laundry is off the kitchen and has a door to the garden room which has an exterior door. Storage shed, well house and large 2-car garage are on the property. The electrical panel was upgraded and a 220-volt outlet added to a RV parking area.
