Perched on 2 acres on the edge of Grantfork, this turnkey home gives you the best of both worlds: the feel of country life & the convenience of being near both Grantfork, Highland, & I-70. Thanks to bougie touches like extra plush carpeting & a huge bathroom in the primary suite, plua a fun barnwood accent wall in the office/3rd bedroom (to name a few) this isn't your mama's ranch-style home! And the previous owner was truly meticulous, leaving behind a well-maintained, move-in-ready property. The insulated & cooled garage has just been drywalled & offers ample storage for your hobbies & toys. Enjoy peaceful rural living from your covered back patio inside a small fenced backyard area, & enjoy plenty of room to live your best life in the rest of the yard. Mature trees, including a couple of fruit trees, surround the property providing shade & a wind/sound barrier. Finally: all but 2 windows replaced 2020, roof on house/garage replaced 2014, furnace and laterals replaced 2013.
This one-story home on 2 acres in the rural Highland setting combines the best of comfort, convenience, and space making it the perfect place to call home! The well maintained exterior greets you as you drive up & matches the beautifully kept interior. Inside, the home features a split bedroom layout with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/dining combo, nice laundry room, and a bright/cheery living room. Outside, the vast 2 acre lot w/large fenced in area, offers endless possibilities for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside from the covered patio. One of the standout features of this property is the detached 2 car garage, providing secure parking and additional storage options. Per the previous listing: All but 2 windows new in 2020, roof on house and garage new in 2014, furnace replaced 2013, laterals replaced 2013, new master bedroom carpeting 2020.
