Welcome to this charming 3-4 bedroom ranch set on a 1.4 acre lot in a beautiful country setting located close to local amenities & outdoor recreation. The main entry is through the side door, which leads you into the spacious family room where cathedral ceilings & an abundance of windows create a bright atmosphere filled with natural light. Just off of this inviting space, you will find a wraparound deck, which makes for a wonderful place to keep a couple of rocking chairs & enjoy the scenic surroundings. From the family room, step into the kitchen & dining area, which flows seamlessly into the living room offering a touch of open concept living space. The main floor features two bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with its own private bathroom, as well as a second full bathroom for added convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two additional rooms that could potentially serve as bedrooms, guest space, a home office, or hobby areas. Outside, the property impresses with exceptional storage & workshop options. The large detached two-bay garage, updated with vinyl siding in 2023, includes a generous storage space above. A sizable shed - once used as a barn - offers more versatility & could easily return to its original use, also features storage space overhead. In addition, the home includes a one-bay garage in the basement, complete with a workbench for projects & maintenance. The driveway loops all the way around the home, providing outstanding convenience for maneuvering vehicles, trailers, campers, or equipment. Important system updates provide peace of mind, including a brand new baseboard hot water boiler & oil tank installed in 2022. Location is key & this property delivers.
