Enjoy this little piece of country living while still being close to everything! This peaceful one acre property has been loved by the owner for many years with several great practical updates. Propane boiler heat was new in 2021 but could now be converted to natural gas since NIPSCO is servicing the area. Roof was replaced in 2013. The circle driveway has newer blacktop with tons of parking. The large 45x36 outbuilding can be used as a garage, storage, workshop or for your outdoor toys and hobbies! It has a cement floor as well as electrical, making it a ready-to-use space. The living room and family room create a nice flow in the home with multiple areas to gather. Original hardwood floors in the bedrooms and hallway. The main bathroom was updated with a large walk-in shower. All kitchen appliances as well as the washer & dryer, deep freezer and water softener, stay with the home. This property is ready for it's next owner to make it their own!
