If you are looking for something that is not your typical cookie cutter home, but still delivers comfort, function, and a place that stands out in the right ways, this one is worth a look. It has a presence to it. Clean lines, solid materials, and just enough character to make it a looker. Located at 4712 South 140th Road on the south side of Bolivar, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home sits on 4 acres and offers a strong mix of usability and appeal. The home recently received a new roof and new flooring throughout. Inside, vaulted ceilings in the living and dining area carry into the kitchen, creating an open space with natural light in every direction. A freestanding pellet stove adds both function and a focal point. The layout is practical, main level primary suite, large walk in closet, and a functional laundry and mudroom setup. The partial brick exterior and overall design give the home a look that stands apart without overdoing it. It is not flashy, just well put together and easy to appreciate. Outside, the yard is open with established landscaping, while scattered trees and wooded edges provide privacy where it counts. A cedar tree line creates a natural buffer from the road, giving the property a tucked away feel. The fenced backyard offers space for pets or a garden, and a small outbuilding works as a shed, kennel, or former coop. A side patio looks into the timber where wildlife is a regular part of the view. The 30x40 shop is ready to use with concrete floors, electric, and permanent workbenches. It is set up well for hobby use, storage, or projects. 3 overhead doors provide easy access for vehicles or equipment. The upper level is unfinished with potential for additional space. The home sits in a strong position on the acreage with the right mix of open space and privacy. Located just 5 minutes from Bolivar and about 30 minutes to Springfield, it offers convenience without giving up space. This is a property that simply works.
TUCKED AWAY! You will enjoy the private setting of this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home on 4 acres. The spacious living room features a vaulted ceiling and a brick hearth that will accommodate a wood stove. French doors lead to a deck. Cooking will be a pleasure in the large kitchen with an abundance of cabinets, a pantry, and a built in desk. The master suite includes a sitting area, an on suite bath, and a walk in closet. Two large bedrooms upstairs also have walk in closets, and share a bathroom. There is a 2 car attached garage, and a patio. The 2 story 30 x 40 shop has a 1200 sq foot unfinished apartment on the upper level. There is also a 14 x 20 storage building.
