About this home

Welcome to this charming rural retreat located in a small rural town. The property sits on over 1/2 an acre. The main level features an updated kitchen & breakfast bar that is open to the formal dining room which is ideal for entertaining. The focal point in the living room is a big screen TV & beautiful fireplace, great space for unwinding after a long day. There is a very spacious updated main level bath. Enclosed porch provides another area for relaxing. Upstairs features (2) bedrooms and a walk in closet that can easily double as a small additional bedroom, nursery, office or playroom. Step outside into your private oasis, where this property truly shines. Entertain on the deck and enjoy a dip in the above ground pool. After a long day of swimming relax on the patio around the firepit and enjoy some smores. A one-car detached garage offers shelter for your vehicle & the hobbyist will love the outbuilding on the property which provides an excellent space for a workshop or storage for the classic car enthusiasts. Don't miss the chance to make this rural gem your own retreat in the countryside.
