Endless Possibilities Await on 5.5 Beautiful Acres! Tucked away on a peaceful 5.5-acre spread across three parcels, this lovingly maintained property is so much more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Whether you're dreaming of extra space for hobbies, starting a homestead, or simply enjoying tranquil country living, this versatile property delivers. Step inside to a charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home that balances warmth and functionality. The formal living room greets you with natural light, while the cozy kitchen and formal dining room offer the perfect backdrop for everyday meals or holiday gatherings. Unwind in the family room, complete with a brick surround gas log fireplace, or relax in the stunning 4-season sunroom with a Rinai heater, offering peaceful country views year-round. Practicality meets comfort with a laundry/mud room (washer/dryer hookup and hot water heater in place), a small bonus room ideal for a home office or potential second bath, and a newly updated full bathroom adjacent to the spacious bedrooms. The home is heated with propane (burners replaced in 2024) and cooled by central A/C, with electric baseboards as a backup. Outside, the features just keep coming! Enjoy BBQing on the large deck off the sunroom, or take advantage of the oversized 3-bay garage/shop—a dream setup for projects, storage, or toys. The two former poultry houses offer endless potential—convert them into workshops, storage units, or even bring livestock back! The property includes two wells (with a new bladder tank installed in 2025), a utility shed with auto kick-start 60KW generator, and a freshly pumped septic (May 2024). Recent updates include a new roof (April 2024), fresh exterior paint (May 2023), and a new water treatment system (July 2023) with a transferrable maintenance plan. A circle driveway provides easy access and plenty of parking, perfect for guests or larger vehicles. This property offers a rare blend of peace, practicality, and potential—ready to welcome its next chapter. Bring your imagination, and make it yours! See attached Key Points list for more details.
