Welcome to your own private retreat, where nearly 3 acres of beautiful land, mature trees, and open space offer the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Just minutes from city amenities, this fully updated property is ideal for those seeking space, comfort, and a place to truly call home. One of the standout features is the detached mother-in-law suite, currently listed as a short-term rental on Airbnb. This income-producing space typically brings in enough to cover the seller’s monthly mortgage and offers incredible flexibility for guests, extended family, or continued rental use. The main home has been thoughtfully renovated with attention to both style and function. The kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, granite countertops, a new gas stove, new dishwasher, and an expanded pantry. Throughout the home, you'll find new flooring, updated bathroom vanities and sinks, and a brand-new wood-burning fireplace that adds cozy charm. A new air conditioner and water heater provide comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons. Enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings in the spacious 34x13 screened-in patio. The oversized attached carport and large driveway offer plenty of parking, and the 23x20 workshop is perfect for storage, projects, or hobbies. Additional outdoor features include chicken coops, room for gardening, recreational vehicles, and a custom-built tree house and swing set that can remain with the home. While the detached suite is not included in the MLS-reported living square footage or bedroom count, it brings the total area to approximately 4,064 square feet—providing significantly more functional space and value than the listing alone suggests. This move-in ready property combines comfort, flexibility, and income potential in a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Schedule your private showing today and explore all the possibilities this beautiful home has to offer.
