If the perfect home had a recipe, this one might just be the finished dish. Start by measuring out 1.47 acres of peaceful land, giving you room to breathe, garden, play, or simply enjoy the quiet that comes with a little extra space. Homes offering usable acreage and privacy are becoming harder to find, making this the perfect first ingredient. Next, blend in a move-in ready three bedroom, two bath home filled with character and thoughtful improvements. Originally built in the 1950s and extensively renovated in 2007, the home was later expanded with a permitted addition completed approximately nine to ten years ago, bringing raised ceilings and creating a brighter, more open feel throughout the living space. Now stir in the features buyers love most. True hardwood floors that add warmth and charm. A comfortable layout designed for everyday living. A dedicated home office perfect for remote work, hobbies, or creative space. Then mix in the important updates that make homeownership easier, including a roof replaced approximately three to four years ago on the original portion of the home, a recently replaced heat pump, PEX plumbing, updated electrical, and newer windows. Next, gently fold in the outdoor spaces that make this property shine. A covered deck perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. A fenced yard offering space for pets, gardening, or play. Plus additional outbuildings that provide storage, hobby space, or workshop potential. Finally, knead together everything this home offers: acreage, privacy, character, and thoughtful improvements already in place. And while this may not be your grandma’s famous apple pie recipe, it might just be the perfect recipe for your happily ever after. Come see it in person and decide if this is the home where your next chapter begins. After all, the only thing missing from this recipe is you.
