Overview
Description
Sitting on just over an acre, with plenty of outdoor space to grow, tinker, or simply enjoy the quiet, this humble home might be exactly what you've been looking for! The yard is a little homesteader’s dream, with pear and plum trees, grape vines, blueberries, and a garden patch already in place. Behind the house sits a barn set up with chicken coops and ready to go, or easily repurposed into a great shop space. Inside, the home is cozy and efficient, with all the important upgrades already handled. The basement and exterior walls were recently insulated with spray foam and blown-in insulation, the roof was done shortly before the current owners purchased in 2019, and a new 250 foot drilled well went in during 2020. A new hot water tank was added in 2023, three heat pump heads were installed in 2022, and the wood stove is only about five years old. Perfect for staying warm on winter nights! The main level features a bright kitchen with the wood stove, a full bath, laundry area, and living room, while upstairs offers the primary bedroom and a second bedroom that works well as a guest room or home office. If you’re after a simple, well-kept rural home with room to breathe, this spot might check more boxes than you expect.
