As you approach from the drive, you will first appreciate the crisp clean look of painted brick on this 3 bedroom 2 bath with attached carport on 3.77 unrestricted acres. The granite counters & backsplash with the 'cottage inspired' painted cabinets makes for a most pleasant eat-in kitchen. The living room with the wood stove insert will keep you toasty in cooler temps. The bedrooms, bath & laundry are down the hall. Outside there is plenty of open level/gentle area for a garden if you wish & a barn/out building for storage. Sits off the road a bit adding for a bit of privacy. Many of the furnishings remain making it an easy move transition or very convenient for part-time living.
