Tucked into a wooded bluff setting, this modern home offers privacy, natural light, and big updates already checked off the list. Recent improvements include a new roof, gutters, fresh exterior paint, updated decking, and a brand-new septic system—taking care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on finishing touches. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows bring the outdoors in, creating a peaceful, retreat-like feel just minutes from town. The private driveway adds to the secluded setting, giving this property a true ''away from it all'' vibe. Ideal for buyers who appreciate solid bones, unique design, and the opportunity to add their own updates and style.
