Nestled on a picturesque 1+ acre country setting, this unique property offers space, versatility, and endless potential. Built in 1983, the home features 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths, along with two additional partially finished bedrooms in the basement-perfect for expanding your living space or accommodating guests. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere with large windows that flood the home with natural light. The main floor includes convenient laundry, a spacious dining room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a bright sunroom that could easily be converted into an additional main-level bedroom if desired. The basement adds even more functionality, featuring a wood-burning stove and a dedicated workshop area-ideal for hobbyists or those needing extra workspace. Outside, the property continues to impress with multiple outbuildings and a detached 3-car garage equipped with its own wood burner, offering ample storage and year-round usability. Please note: some personal property will be removed prior to closing; however, the home will not be completely cleared, and any remaining items will transfer with the property. If you're looking for a peaceful rural setting with room to grow and make your own, this property is full of opportunity.
