This beautiful ranch home is nestled among mature trees in a private, picturesque setting. Both the covered front porch and back deck provide a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy your own wildlife sanctuary! The expansive pole barn has plenty of space for any and all vehicles and provides a place for horses or other animals with the 2 horse stalls. A fenced off pasture provides a nice feeding area and there is open space in the yard for gardens as well. Inside you will find a lovely, open home highlighted by cathedral ceiling and wood beams. The stone fireplace provides an eye popping focal point that can be seen from the great room and kitchen. The kitchen is one to envy with the enormous island, gorgeous cabinetry, granite countertops, farmhouse sink, and stainless appliances. The craftsmanship continues to the other areas of the home, including the bathroom with its brick flooring, soaking tub, and separate shower. Laundry is currently found on this main level, but there is also a basement laundry room with additional hookup for appliances. Additionally downstairs, you will find a family room, a 3/4 bath and tons of storage in the storage area. Great location bordering the Prairie Duneland Trail with miles of paved trails right out your back door and still within minutes of shopping, highways and the interstate!
