Fantastic Location, NEWER home in the Country. This is exactly what everyone is looking for. Home built in 2008 with gorgeous wood floors, main floor laundry, walk in closet, and more. OPEN floor plan allows the beautiful views of the country all throughout the home. Or step out onto the covered deck for more scenic views. HUGE 46x40 Tru Built pole shed in addition to the oversized attached 2 car garage. Plenty of workshop area in the pole shed plus you have a time out room. Take a break, sit down, relax, watch a little TV, and have a cold drink in the heated and airconditioned room of the pole shed. Large enough to have couch and table and chairs. Walk out basement has plenty of room for a recreational room also. It is unfinished, however it has all been framed out and the bath roughed in. Just waiting for you to finish the way YOU want. Here is your chance to finish the basement and make this DREAM home even better!
