Welcome to this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home tucked away on over one wooded acre with end-of-the-road privacy, offering an exceptional blend of comfort and modern convenience. Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, the expansive shaded yard creates a peaceful retreat complete with a powered outbuilding, cozy fire pit, and lots of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. A paved driveway with additional parking leads to the inviting front porch and deck, ideal for enjoying the tranquil setting. A pretty beveled glass front door opens to a bright and spacious Great Room and dining area filled with natural light and enhanced by rich wood flooring that flows throughout the home. The thoughtfully designed kitchen combines style and function with granite countertops, a stacked-stone island, custom barn-door pantry with wood shelving, and black stainless steel appliances approximately three years old. An apron sink and rustic finishes add warmth and modern farmhouse character. Just steps away, the inviting living room features a striking rock-faced gas fireplace with a live-edge wood mantel, built-in shelving, and a rustic wood ceiling. A rear door provides direct access to the back yard. On the opposite side of the Great Room, a hallway leads to the guest bedroom and full guest bath, complete with tile flooring, granite vanity, tiled tub/shower combination, and convenient laundry closet. At the end of the hall, the spacious Master Suite offers a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring a sliding barn door, double vessel sinks, and an elegant glass-and-tile shower with dual shower heads. Built in 1968, this solidly constructed home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, including high-speed cable internet and an efficient gas-pack heating system. With no HOA and an adjoining 1.55 +/- acre lot available as well, this rare private retreat offers a unique opportunity to enjoy peaceful living with room to grow.
