One level living, with 4+ acres, beautifully landscaped with mature apple and cherry trees, lilacs, lilies, and everywhere you look the yard is bursting with a rainbow of other perennials, and a sprawling lawn that leads down to a small private pond. It's like having your own personal campground in your back yard! You'll have the easy maintenance of 1040 sf of living space, without giving up the acreage & solitude of rural living.

No carpets make cleaning a breeze! This lovely home also has an efficient forced hot air heating system that burns either oil or wood through the winter months, and a new heat pump that can cool the whole house in no time during the summer heat waves like we've had recently.

Sit back and relax with a morning coffee or a cool drink at the end of the day, while you take in the visiting wildlife from the covered rear deck. You could even barbecue on the grill during a rainstorm, listening to the soft patter of rain falling on the deck's metal roof. There is a tidy two car garage for your daily drivers. Need storage for your recreational vehicles? Maybe a place to work on your hobbies? Check out the large barn! There are also a few other small sheds to suit your storage needs. New automatic whole-house propane backup generator to be sure your life won't skip a beat when there's a power interruption. Located only one mile from the local store, and just 25 minutes from I-95, you can enjoy country living with deer and turkeys in the back yard without giving up quick access to amenities!
