Cute as a button! It's a sweet cottage with privacy galore! There are 2 bedrooms on the main level each with its own bathroom. The master has a large walk in closet and a separate tub and shower. There's also a bonus room upstairs that could easily become another bedroom with the addition of a closet. Bonus room area is not included in the square footage. The basement is large, neat, and clean just waiting for you to finish out another game or TV space. The basement already has a full bathroom and laundry space. There's plenty of room for a workshop and boat or toy parking in the basement as well. It comes with a detached 3 car carport and plenty of yard space to play. You'll have lots of space for outdoor entertaining on multiple decks. Bring your chickens too! The cows in the adjoining pasture are quiet and make great neighbors!
