Welcome to 1138 Walnut Shade Rd. Drive down the long, tree-lined driveway and you will sense the peace and serenity of country living. This home is situated on 2 parcels of land totaling 1.85 acres comprised of a perfect balance of mature trees, open areas and privacy. The main house consists of an open kitchen with dining area, large living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry room. The laundry room was originally designed to be a third bedroom but was converted to a laundry room. The house includes a large 22' x 24' enclosed breezeway with wood stove - making a cozy family/recreation room. The breezeway connects the main house to the very large workshop and 2 car garage. This work shop/garage consists of 1,568 square feet of workspace, work benches, and built in shelving and drawers to keep all your tools and equipment - well organized. The workshop has its own propane fueled heater. The property also has two outbuildings, both with electrical service, and the additional well hand pumps will come in handy to water gardens or animals. NOTE: Only 1 outbuilding comes with this property.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
