Opportunity awaits on 5 private acres just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Set well back from the road, this 3-bedroom home offers peaceful seclusion and tremendous potential to build equity and make it your own. The costly improvements have already been completed, giving you a solid foundation to make the home shine. Over the past 5 years, the property has been substantially expanded and updated with a new roof, new windows, new kitchen and laundry appliances, 3 energy-efficient mini-splits for year-round comfort, and a new septic distribution box. A spacious bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a generous mudroom were also added in 2022, and a large deck provides the perfect place to enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The property is packed with extras, including a greenhouse, a 12' x 24' storage shed, and a large barn with plenty of room for equipment, hobbies, animals, or additional storage. One original bedroom was converted into a spacious laundry room with a half bath, but the laundry could easily be moved to the mudroom, allowing the space to be converted back into a bedroom with its own private half bath. While the home could benefit from cosmetic updates, the hard work has already been done!
