Tucked away on 40.52 acres of yard, tillable ground, and mature woods, this 1.5 story custom built, one owner home blends peaceful privacy with thoughtful, high-end updates only a few short miles from town. A wide front porch welcomes you inside to a formal dining room, soaring living room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, rich hardwood flooring throughout, updated interior lighting, and a handsome staircase finished with wrought-iron spindles. The kitchen is perfect for everyday living or entertaining with granite countertops, an island with seating, updated faucet, and a new pantry while the adjoining sunroom opens to the updated patio and fire pit for easy indoor/outdoor flow.
