About this home
Welcome to your private slice of country living-just minutes from town yet tucked away at the end of a long lane for added peace and privacy. This charming 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath farmhouse sits on 3.61 acres and offers the perfect blend of rural character and modern updates. Step onto the expansive wrap-around porch, ideal for relaxing mornings or evening sunsets, and enter a home filled with warmth and functionality. Inside, you'll find no carpet throughout-only hardwood and laminate flooring for easy maintenance and timeless appeal. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2020, offering a fresh, modern space perfect for cooking and gathering. Major updates provide peace of mind, including all new windows in 2010, a new septic system approximately 5 years ago, a pressure tank installed in 2022, and a water heater replaced in 2021. The attic has been recently insulated for improved efficiency, and an entirely new roof will be installed prior to closing. Outside, the property is well-equipped for hobby farming, storage, or business use with multiple outbuildings, including a 32' x 80' machine shed, a barn, a corn crib, and a 52' x 60' cattle shed with a concrete floor. Whether you're looking for space to spread out, room for animals or equipment, or simply a peaceful place to call home, this property offers endless possibilities with the convenience of town just minutes away.
