Welcome to your dream farmette—where space, privacy, and possibilities abound, and best of all, no HOA restrictions. Perfect for horse lovers, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking country charm just minutes from town, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch-style home offers 1,671 square feet of living space situated on an expansive 2.8-acre lot(including a 0.21-acre additional parcel). As you step inside, you’re greeted by hardwood floors that create a bright, modern feel while providing a neutral palette that’s ready for your personal touch. The heart of the home is the inviting kitchen, which features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, and charming touches like shiplap walls and a brick mantel that adds warmth and character. Whether you're whipping up weeknight meals or entertaining guests, this space is both functional and beautiful. The large primary suite offers comfort and privacy with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with ceramic tile floors and a full tub/shower. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath round out the interior, along with a convenient half bath and laundry room that includes a washer and dryer, plus additional storage space. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the vast open space, which includes a 1-acre fenced area with 3-board fencing, ideal for horses, goats, sheep, or other animals. Bonus garden shed and enjoy the fruits of labor with mature apple trees and persimmon and fig trees. Two raised garden beds in place and beautiful landscaping around the home. The attached 1 car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, tools, and equipment, while the detached 1-car garage with electricity offers flexible usage—whether you need extra storage, a workspace, or a shelter for small farm animals. You’ll never worry about losing power thanks to the whole-house generator powered by propane (tank owned). The home also includes a modern in-home water filtration system (owned), giving you reliable access to clean, fresh water, and a brand-new septic system for added peace of mind. Step outside from the kitchen onto a spacious wood deck, perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying quiet evenings in your private backyard.
