Imagine waking up to views of quiet farmland stretching out right from your backyard. Situated on a unique lot bordered by open fields on two sides, this completely renovated ranch offers a peaceful country escape in a quiet neighborhood, yet remains just minutes from the heart of town. Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The open floor plan is anchored by a sleek kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, perfectly complemented by high-end LVP flooring and plush luxury carpeting throughout. New windows and a large sliding glass door serve as moving portraits of the local wildlife and surrounding vistas, while updated lighting and thoughtful interior touches enhance the home’s contemporary style. The "wow" factor lives outdoors on the two-level Trex deck. Whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ or soaking in the private hot tub under the stars, the backdrop of the countryside is simply unbeatable. This home is as smart as it is beautiful. Solar panels help power the property, while a brand-new water softener and Reverse Osmosis water treatment system ensure the highest water quality. Even the exterior is low-maintenance, featuring newly installed leaf guards on the gutters. The partially finished basement provides the perfect flex space for a home gym, playroom, or office. Organization is effortless thanks to tons of custom shelving and dedicated storage areas in both the basement and the oversized garage. Join us for an Open House on Saturday, 3/14/26 from 11a-1p to see it for the first time!
