About this home

Looking for a home on some land with a pond that is still considered in town? Well then this is the property for you! This is a nice 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on nearly 4 acres on the north edge of town. Inside you'll find some great features, such as a primary suite with full bathroom, eat-in kitchen with extra seating at the island, formal dining room, living room, great room, and more! There is a ton of potential to make another bedroom or 2 with all of that space! Outside you'll find a detached 24x24 two car garage, a 30x28 pole barn, and near the back of the property is your own personal oasis (pond) to go and unwind after a long day!
