Brand new appliances in 2022. The kitchen is open to the main dining area. On one wing of the house you have a large master bedroom with its own full bathroom as well as a large closet.

The lower level has a ton of potential with a walkout door, large windows, and tall ceilings. The main room has potential for another family room or game room. Shop area that could be converted into a gun safe. In floor heat that runs throughout the basement but continues to the exterior patio area that currently has kennels as well as the garage area. The garage has a floor drain and water so that you can wash your vehicles inside. Generator hook up that is located in the garage. The lower level has a full bathroom on this level as well. The hallway with the bathroom also gives you access to the second shop room that has a sink and leads to the outside patio area. The beauty and possibilities don't end when you leave the home.
