About this home

Immaculate throughout with many upgrades, this well cared for home will pleasantly surprise you with its many custom features. The kitchen cabinets, (bathrooms too), have been site built including the center island and corner bench with matching table in the eating area. The kitchen appliances are reported to be less than three years old. The master bath has been enlarged to accommodate a jetted tub and walk-in shower. A fan forced recirculating wood burning fireplace with custom mantle divides the floor plan with two bedrooms and a full bath on one side and the master bedroom and bath on the other for privacy. There's an office, attached garage and shop which is divided into two work areas, all with a separate 200 amp service. The yard is fenced and has a play set, concrete patio and additional storage shed. Plenty of room for hobbies, tools, toys with extra storage. Backs and is adjacent to cultivated farm ground. Just mow, trim and enjoy this low maintenance home.

Agricultural District

The Agricultural District of Monroe County encompasses areas where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical resources generally provide conditions well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. The district is designed to prevent the intrusion of nonagricultural land use and development which would hinder agricultural pursuits by reason of congestion on public roads, chemical and biological pollution of air and water, environmental conditions, soil erosion, and the depletion of natural cover causing runoff of storm water onto and across agricultural land. The district is designed to protect and preserve the areas of high agricultural productivity and is intended to preserve conditions suitable to agricultural purposes. Anyone applying for a permit for a residence in this Agriculture Zoned District must sign a certificate that they are aware that there might be a sight, smell, or sound of agriculture business in the area.
