The property is bordered by 52 acres of conservancy land and has many recent upgrades including a kitchen remodel in 2019, new roof in 2016 and new HVAC in 2017. Enjoy the sights of nature from the multiple porches on this property. Even the detached garage has its own porch! This ranch style home offers second living quarters on the lower level with an additional kitchen, laundry hook up and HVAC. Zoning allows for short term vacation rentals.
