NO HOA & 1.64 ACRES! Welcome home to this secluded and charming Cape Cod-style retreat, nestled in the woods on 1.64 acres just off Sunset Lake Road. Surrounded by nature, this property offers a peaceful and serene setting with exceptional privacy. The home features a large dining room and an open floor plan with a spacious family room highlighted by a brick, wood-burning fireplace. Additional living space includes a separate living room and a well-appointed kitchen with island, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A lovely bay window provides picturesque views of the rustic natural surroundings. The first-floor primary bedroom offers convenience and comfort. Upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms, along with a hobby room and an additional flex room (unheated), offering versatility for storage, creative space, or future customization. The unfinished basement includes a second wood-burning fireplace, utility area, and both interior and exterior access--ideal for expansion or workshop potential. Outdoor features include a covered carport/patio, with playset and storage shed conveying (as-is). Chickens are allowed, adding to the property's homestead appeal. The property is located in a flood zone and requires flood insurance; there is no indication the home has ever flooded. A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, acreage, and classic Cape Cod charm in a tranquil setting. It is NOT in an flood zone now and it would not require flood insurance.
