Hidden away on over three secluded acres, this FURNISHED 2-bed, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and character. Ideally situated on a paved road, a gated entrance and gravel driveway lead you to the home, which is framed by a beautifully manicured yard, an attached two-car garage, and a versatile outbuilding. A full-length front porch welcomes you, while a side deck and screened back porch wrap around three sides of the home, creating multiple inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, you'll find a bright and open layout filled with natural light. To your left is the kitchen, with stylish glass cabinets and lots of counter space, a practically new dishwasher and refrigerator, and an earth-toned tile backsplash. A pantry and laundry area add convenience. Down the hall, a guest bathroom with a custom tile shower and beveled glass window sits across from a guest bedroom with rich wood floors and access to the private screened porch. From there, a door connects back to the heart of the home: the Great Room, with a stunning vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, wood flooring, a wood-burning stove perched on a tile hearth, and two doors opening to the side deck and back porch. Upstairs in the loft, the rich wood floors and vaulted wood ceiling continue with the first of THREE skylights, and access to a private deck that overlooks the natural surroundings. The Master Suite has two walk-in closets, a skylight, and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a tiled shower and the third skylight. The finished basement has a spacious recreation room with double glass doors to the patio, a wet bar, a walk-in closet, a full bathroom, and two bonus rooms. A radon mitigation system, a new compressor and heat exchange in 2022, and new thermostats are only a few of the notable upgrades. With its quality construction, private well, smart improvements, and peaceful setting, this property offers comfort and seclusion just minutes from town.
