Welcome to your private gated rural retreat—a true sanctuary that seamlessly blends comfort and nature. This charming brick ranch home, nestled on an expansive 20+-acre lot, features a perfect mix of open space and lightly wooded areas, complete with a serene private pond and a gently flowing creek at the back. As you approach, the inviting rocking chair front porch beckons you to relax and soak in the beauty of country living. Step inside to a welcoming entry foyer that leads to a formal living room, elegantly designed to create an inviting atmosphere. The hallway guides you to the thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms and a cozy den. The spacious living room flows into the dining area, which connects to the kitchen. The kitchen has modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, making it ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining guests. A charming breakfast area/second dining place off the kitchen opens up to the den, which features a double-sided brick fireplace that adds warmth and character, as well as a spacious sunroom that offers breathtaking views of the rolling countryside backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find an extra large laundry room and 2 convenient exterior entries- 1 from the carport the other to the backyard patio, enhancing the home’s practicality. The generous primary suite serves as your personal retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings, a private bathroom w/ a double vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and two more bathrooms cater to family and guests. The unfinished basement, accessible via both interior and exterior entries, provides ample storage space and offers potential for future customization to meet your needs. Venture outside to discover the enchanting landscape—explore the private pond, meander through the woods, or enjoy the tranquil sounds of the creek. A detached building on the property offers versatile options— a storage space for yard equipment or a workshop for your creative projects. While the home requires a bit of TLC, it presents an incredible opportunity for a remodel or a new build, allowing you to create a personalized haven in this idyllic farm like setting. Embrace the charm of country living and make this retreat your own!
