This impeccably maintained one-owner, two-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2,658 square feet of functional living space. Filled with natural light, nearly every room captures beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The spacious great room with wood stove opens to a large deck overlooking the pond and wooded setting with the adjacent formal dining room sharing the same view. Both rooms along with the kitchen are ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A main-floor primary suite and first-floor laundry add everyday convenience. The finished lower level provides additional living and recreation space, along with a flexible room for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Bonus areas above and below the attached garage, with a convenient stairway that provides direct egress to the basement, offers excellent storage and workshop space. A 36x28 detached outbuilding with bonus-room trusses provides endless possibilities for hobbies, vehicle or equipment storage or future finished space.
