Enjoy the perfect blend of convenience and privacy with this beautifully updated home. Located just minutes from the interstate yet tucked far enough away to offer peaceful seclusion, you can relax on the large covered front porch and take in the quiet surroundings. The thoughtful layout of the land makes the property feel even larger than it is, and the home itself has been completely remodeled inside and out. Move in with confidence knowing every major update has already been done. Improvements include new exterior vinyl siding, a fully refreshed interior with new paint, new laminate wood flooring, a new heat pump, new double-pane insulated windows, and updated appliances. A cozy gas-log fireplace provides an excellent secondary heat source, adding both comfort and charm. The back door features a built-in doggie door leading to a spacious back porch and a fenced-in backyard—perfect for pets or outdoor enjoyment. Additional features include a detached garage/workshop, offering great storage or hobby space, as well as a well-maintained well house with additional storage above. This property is truly move-in ready and offers the peace, privacy, and updates buyers are looking for. Owners will consider owner financing under certain conditions.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
