About this home

Peaceful and private 10-acre homestead with 40 x 60pole barn, 25 x 33 detached garage with workout room and a beautifully updated, three bedroom, three full bath, move-in-ready home surrounded by natural, protected lands. Contractor/Owner's vision truly came to life when they found this property then remodeled it into this lovely, open concept main level space offering a sun-filled living room with hardwoods, gorgeous kitchen with rich, handsome cabinetry, granite counters, stunning glass tile wall splash, stainless steel appliances and ceramic tile floors laid diagonally for an extra flair. The dining area is spacious; ideal for entertaining and opens to the deck and expansive back yard which provides more privacy than you could dream of. Three bedrooms; one currently being enjoyed as an office, and two baths complete the main level including the master bedroom with private full bath. To the finished lower level you ll find a huge great room with wood stove and slider to the back yard as well as two rooms with closets which could make it a 5 bedroom with some septic improvements. One of the lower bedrooms is currently being utilized as a guest bedroom for it's it's privacy and modern third bathroom with over-sized tile shower, tile floors and brushed nickel faucet. This amazing homestead has endless possibilities for a lifetime of memories; friends and family barbecues, parties around the fire pit or perhaps even a wedding; the current owner had theirs here and it was simply beautiful!!
