Perched atop a hill is this midcentury raised ranch home on 5AC zoned AG in Cherry Valley township! 4,453sqft of well-preserved living space with a 38’ indoor saltwater pool in excellent condition! Owned by the same family since it was built in 1969. 40x60 pole barn is ideal for potential equestrian use or storing your toys. Outer perimeter of property is wooded for maximum seclusion. There is an abundance of fruit bearing trees, bushes and vines producing grapes, raspberries and apples. The residence itself is midcentury chalet style with brick and authentic board and batten wood exterior, architectural shingled roof, massive glass entry with ornate solid wood front door and an elevated deck overlooking the circle driveway and front lawn. True to form and “of the period” interior style would be spectacular if updated to current design trends. All bedrooms and two full baths are on main level, along with the kitchen, dining and living areas. Lots of windows for an abundance of natural light. The lower level offers a spacious rec room featuring a limestone masonry fireplace with built-in water garden features, full bath, laundry space and stairway to the indoor pool addition with newer pool heater and pump. Rear stairway from kitchen leads to a large 4-season room with another fireplace. Updated mechanicals including Heil hi-eff furnace and water heater. Move-in ready, but scope of updating is subjective. Priced accordingly and in line with recent appraisal reflecting condition, which can be made available upon request. Sold “as is” to settle estate. Taxes reflect no exemptions. Endless potential! You just have to see it!
