The home has been meticulously maintained and beautifully updated with quality finishes throughout. Inside, the Benson Stone custom kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, designed for both beauty and performance. The sunroom addition showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with an efficient insert, while the family room offers a second fireplace for cozy evenings in.

RA
Rural Agricultural Residential District
The R-A Rural Agricultural Residential District is intended primarily for existing districts or neighborhoods of very low density, large lot single-family development though certain compatible non-residential uses, such as places of worship, are permitted. The low density permitted in the R-A District will generally permit, in accordance with applicable Health Department rules and the requirements of this Ordinance, on-site, individual sewage disposal systems and wells.; The R-A District incorporates the previous R-E Rural Estate, R-R Rural Residential and R-A Rural Agricultural Residential Districts as subdistricts. Recognizing that there are existing residential uses within these zoning districts, the uses, lots and structures in the County that developed, or were designated for development, in conformance with the regulations of those zoning districts, are recognized as legal conforming uses, lots and structures. The previous R-E Rural Estate, R-R Rural Residential and R-A Rural Agricultural Residential Districts will continue to be indicated as such on the zoning map and interpreted as subdistricts of this Ordinance's R-A District. The R-A District is primarily for areas previously zoned as R-E, R-R and R-A Districts as of the effective date of this Ordinance but limited new application is allowed only if developed as a minor subdivision, if divided, or no more than four buildable lots are created via the plat act. No variances from this requirement are permitted.
