Looking for a cozy home in a rural setting? Come see this home outside of the city's hustle and bustle and enjoy the peaceful setting it has to offer. The home is originally a 2-bedroom property but has the addition of 2 finished rooms in the basement creating a third bedroom and a bonus room. The property has had several updates performed by these owners, the updates include Matthew Brothers windows; new external doors; a new kitchen with a butcher block countertop; wood flooring throughout the first floor, except for a tiled floor in the bathroom; a metal chimney for a wood stove hookup in the basement; and a new metal roof. They also installed a 31' deck on the rear of the home overlooking the woods, great for relaxing after a long day's work. The front of the home has a covered porch that overlooks a large gravel driveway that provides access to a double garage, complete with side lean-to. Behind the garage, and to the side of the lawn, is the ''Darling Den'', a fully insulated shed, with power and lighting, currently used as a bunk house for kid's sleepovers, and a hide away to watch the game. This home has high-speed internet available, and is all set for someone to move in, with the only changes required are to bring to your own taste. Come make this house your home. Due to originally being a 2 bedroom home this property does have a 2-bedroom septic design.
