This beautiful house offers everything you need to enjoy the outdoors during both summers and winters. The location in a small town provides a rural feeling that many people crave. The town has a lovely park with a zipline, a distillery, a post office, and a farm store. It is situated approximately 30 minutes away from Lafayette and Crawfordsville. The roof and most windows of the house were updated last year, and many interior updates have also been completed. A few updates still remain to be done by the new owners ( flooring and paint in 2 rooms). The living and dining areas have stunning hardwood flooring. The kitchen and dining areas have an open-concept design. A great back porch is available for entertaining guests or just relaxing while soaking in the hot tub or floating in the pool. The basement can be accessed through the attached garage which has ample storage space. This house was off the market and back on due to reasons unrelated to the property or seller, and several more updates have been made during that time!
