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.

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.
