Modern efficiency is prioritized with a high-efficiency heat pump water heater and a timer-controlled recirculating pump to minimize utility costs. Situated on two usable, flat acres—half of which remains wooded for privacy and trails—the exterior is meticulously prepared. Outbuildings include a chicken coop with electricity and an attached wood shed, as well as a garden shed with electricity, shelving, and lean-to storage.
