This one-level home sits on a sprawling acre in the rare and quietly special mid-County Defiance Drive neighborhood. The long driveway leads to classic curb appeal, fresh exterior paint, and open-concept living inside. Notice how well the home flows from inside to outside so you can really utilize it all. A 5-bedroom layout gives room for every phase of life, with ADU potential and a private-entry primary suite. Park your boat, RV, and plan to build the shop you’ve always wanted. Fruit trees dot the fully-fenced backyard. Big western and northern views deliver those quiet evening moments with sunsets and mountains. Don't rush past the big front yard as well. Light-touch HOA simply maintains roads and common space. Your space stays your own.
