Tucked just off the beaten path, this 2-acre property has been thoughtfully updated with so much to offer! The home was fully remodeled in 2019, including both bathrooms, updated flooring throughout, new interior and exterior doors, siding, roof, kitchen appliances, water heater, and soft-close cabinets—all done with purpose and simplicity in mind. Outdoors, it’s a little slice of countryside: apple and pear trees, mulberries, elderberries, a red raspberry patch, a strawberry box, and a row of young pine trees lining the north and northwest side for added privacy. There’s also a spacious outbuilding added in 2021 and a charming newer chicken coop —plenty of room to grow, work, or simply breathe. A few other recent updates include a Daikin furnace (2024), water softener and iron filtration system (2021), and a new dryer (2024). As an added perk, a $5000 painting allowance is being offered to the new buyer. Whether you’re catching the sunrise with coffee or winding down under the sunset, the views here never disappoint. Zoned ag, this property offers a peaceful setting with practical updates—ready for whatever you’ve got planned next.
