Welcome to 405 West Wachter, a home you'll fall in love with from the moment you see it. The home, featuring stone pillars and facade, has a blacktop driveway leading to a beautiful front porch overlooking the neighboring 86-acre farm to the North. The property has been professionally landscaped with a backyard that offers a sunny gentle slope for fun, games, gardening and relaxation around the fire ring pit. All overlooking the adjoining 20+ acre greenspace to the South with one of the many Galena Territory Nature Trails (the Brodrecht Home Farm Loop). Just inside the front door you'll be greeted with the beauty of the hardwood floors (throughout the living/dining/kitchen and hallway), long distant views, a full masonry stone wood burning fireplace in the living area, generous dining area and kitchen with granite countertops and a pantry. The long views enhance from the screened in porch and rear deck with unobstructed distant views. The main floor also offers not just the large master en-suite with whirlpool bath, dual vanities and walk-in-closet but two additional guest bedrooms, guest bath and laundry all on the main floor. A true single level living main floor plan complete with a two-car attached garage. Descend to the lower level and you'll find an expansive family room with a second full masonry custom stone wood burning fireplace, bar and walkout to the awaiting patio and yard. Completing this lower level is a large fourth bedroom or home office with large windows to admire that backyard view, a full bath and large storage room. Come see this rare opportunity with 3 main floor bedrooms today! On 6/8/22 a new 1,500-gallon septic tank was installed. Offered for sale furnished with some exclusions.
