This lovely well-cared-for single-story home is perfect for anyone wanting privacy yet still being conveniently close to town. The home has beautiful shaded access to Pass Creek, which runs through the property year-round. The grounds feature almost 5 acres of evergreen trees, fruit trees, a fenced-in garden with 10 boxes, a gazebo, a dog pen, a tree swing, and more. The home was built in the 50's but the kitchen (including appliances) and bathrooms were updated in 2008. The huge back room could be an additional bedroom, work-out space, home office, or hobby room. Ceiling fans and A/C throughout help keep this home cool on hot summer days, while the certified wood stove keeps the house very toasty in the winter. The oversized garage has two bays plus workbench and tons of extra storage with shelving. Laundry, with utility sink, is located in the sunroom off the kitchen. This extra space is perfect for chilling in nature yet being indoors. Huge pantry (all shelving stays). Must see!
