Be close to town but up out of town in this nice solid two story home built in 1976. You will find some quality upgrades throughout the home. Newer rock fireplace, new kitchen cabinets and counters, ceiling fans, laminate flooring, and an island bar has been added to the kitchen area. Living room is a well lit room with nice big windows with views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Sliding glass door leads you from the living room to the deck where you could have your bbq or smoker set up. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs. The downstairs is framed for 2 additional bedrooms, a laundry room and a man cave type room, but they are not completed. There is parking for 2 cars under the carport outside. You can walk from the carport right into the lower level. There is irrigation water that comes from the Short Ditch above the property via an approximately 3 inch diameter PVC pipe. The water is currently piped to flood irrigate the lawn on the east side of the house. The water could be collected and pumped into sprinklers and a line run to the west side of the property to keep the pond full. The hot tub outside is a great place to enjoy the evenings. Seller is leaving 2 window mount coolers and a swamp cooler for the new owner. On the 3.670 acre lot you have room to add a shop or barn. The west side of the property has a small pond. On the west side of the home there is a fenced area to keep your pets. Small tool shed also on the property. Propane tank is leased from Ferrell Gas but is empty as seller uses the wood burning stove for heat.
