Take a tour of this recently constructed one and half story home located on just under nine acres in scenic Owen County. This property is conveniently located a quick twenty minute drive from downtown Bloomington and is just minutes from both Ellettsville and McCormick?s Creek State Park. Begin your tour by taking in the stunning vista view from the full length front porch. This same view can be seen from both of the first floor bedrooms, the family room and kitchen. Stunning. The warm light that fills the home will welcome you, and the practical design will make you want to stay. A master and second bedroom, two full baths, and laundry/mud room are all on one open level. A second, sky light lit, living space, additional bedroom and flex space along with a third bath are on the second level. Built in 2016, all appliances are still under warranty. The metal roof is a maintenance free bonus and the Vermont Casting wood burning stove is both cost saving and handsome. A new deck has been recently added. The mostly level, wooded acreage can be divided for a future home site.
