About this home
AS-IS at this amazing price. Rare opportunity to own this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick rambler on a large private lot just 6–8 minutes from Hwy 18 and conveniently close to Costco, shopping, restaurants, and fast food! Surrounded by mature trees for added privacy, this home offers a spacious open floor plan with newer laminate flooring, fresh paint, and new carpet throughout. The updated kitchen features beautiful wood cabinetry, stone countertops, ample prep space, and great natural light. Unique brick accents, a cozy fireplace, and oversized living areas add warmth and character you do not find in many homes at this price point. Enjoy relaxing or entertaining under the large covered patio with brick details overlooking the spacious backyard with room for gardening, pets, play, or future possibilities. The home also includes AC and several major updates already completed, including newer septic, windows replaced in 2016, electrical panel updated in 2017, hot water tank replaced in 2021, crawlspace replacement in 2025, and updated furnace motor. Plenty of parking and room for RVs, toys, or extra vehicles. While the home could still use a little TLC in the yard, it offers incredible value, solid bones, and endless potential for the next owner to make it their own. Rare find with this much space, privacy, and upside at this price!

RA-5
Rural Area Zone
The purpose of the rural zone (RA) is to provide for an area-wide long-term rural character and to minimize land use conflicts with nearby agricultural or forest production districts or mineral extraction sites. These purposes are accomplished by: Limiting residential densities and permitted uses to those that are compatible with rural character and nearby resource production districts and sites and are able to be adequately supported by rural service levels; Allowing small scale farming and forestry activities and tourism and recreation uses that can be supported by rural service levels and that are compatible with rural character; Increasing required setbacks to minimize conflicts with adjacent agriculture, forest or mineral zones; and Requiring tracts created through cluster development to be designated as permanent open space or as permanent resource use.; Use of this zone is appropriate in rural areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan as follows: RA-5 in rural areas where the predominant lot pattern is five acres or greater but less than ten acres in size and the area is generally environmentally unconstrained
