This property offers an incredibly versatile mix of landscapes and amenities. Carroll county is renowned for its picturesque rolling topography, blending agriculture with wooded landscapes. At the forefront of this property sits an updated home, offering modern comforts amidst the tranquil countryside. Step inside to discover a spacious kitchen adorned with ample cabinet space, bar seating, and a convenient walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large porch invites you to soak in the surrounding beauty. Continuing through the home, a formal dining room seamlessly transitions into the expansive family room, offering the perfect space for gatherings and relaxation. A bonus room off the family room provides versatility, ideal for use as an office or additional living space. Upstairs, the master bedroom awaits, boasting panoramic views of the landscape, a cozy gas fireplace, and a luxurious jacuzzi tub—a true retreat within a retreat. Accompanying the master are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient laundry room. The attached oversized garage offers ample space for vehicles and storage, ensuring convenience and functionality. Venture beyond the home, and you'll discover two barns nestled along a service drive, providing additional storage and workspace. Flanking the property's north and south sides are approximately 10 acres of tillable ground, currently rented out but offering potential for pasture for livestock or alternative agricultural uses. Further into the property, 13 acres wind through the landscape, offering a serene backdrop for exploration. Here, the potential for a rejuvenated pond adds to the property's allure. A lush stand of timber, featuring cherry, oak, and other hardwood species, enriches the landscape and provides opportunities for outdoor activities. This expansive property seems to stretch on endlessly, surrounded by the tranquility of timber and farm ground.
