Home has been extensively updated with all new kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated flooring and carpet, updated bathroom furniture and fixtures, new interior and exterior paint, new deck, new supporting columns, and new shed. House was drywalled, new front door and all new trip throughout the home (baseboards, crown, door and windows). Beautiful boxed beams in the living room with vaulted ceilings and a woodstove big enough to keep the home warm and cozy. Master bedroom on main floor and bedroom and bonus room upstairs with second bathroom. Enjoy a private, tranquil setting with the convenience of being close to town. Front and back porches to enjoy all the seasons. All this plus high speed internet and easy, year-round access off a state maintained paved road. Property is made up of two lots, each with their own address so building on the empty lot is also an option.
