What a real find!!!! Rarely available ranch home on 1.18 acres in Townsend and NO HOA! A Nature lover's dream! Make your way through the front door to a warm and inviting great room, great for large gatherings and perfect for entertaining. Turn right into the elegant dining room that leads into the galley style kitchen. The painted cabinets, newer floors and new stainless steel refrigerator keep this kitchen timeless. The double wall ovens and electric cook top can make cooking a joy. Right off the kitchen is a convenient, side entrance that leads into the laundry room / mud room. Make your way through to the massive primary bedroom. It is an impressive 22 x 19 huge room(estimated)! It has a large lighted walk-in closet and a newly updated bathroom complete with a beautifully tiled shower with glass doors. . There are two more nice sized bedrooms and a hall bath that also has been tastefully updated. Most rooms have been freshly painted. Added features include an over sized detached 2 car garage that is heated with a cozy wood stove, has it's own electric, a brand new garage door with new garage door opener and new hardware. Also, it has a room off the back for added storage, and a great lean-to(car port) attached to the side to use for a boat, cars or any other outdoor activities. The beautiful wooded lot is so tranquil and serene. This peaceful location is off the beaten path and still close to major roadways, shopping and restaurants. The best of both worlds. It is truly a rare gem.
