    What's special

    Wraparound porchLarge walk-in closetLarge primary suiteUpdated four-season roomPanoramic views
    5490 W. Howe Road is a fully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom farmhouse. Situated on 2 acres in the Dewitt School District, with panoramic views, a pond, mature fruit trees (apple, pear, mulberry), a wraparound porch, an updated four-season room, and a 30 x 40 barn. Complete with two finished bonus rooms on the second story. Fully finished with insulation and a mini-split system in each room, this space provides useful room beyond the home's primary living area. Think of it as a finished basement, just on top of your garage! The main floor of the home features a spacious kitchen with double pantries, a guest bedroom/office, and laundry room with backyard access. There is also a four-season room overlooking the pond and neighboring fields. Recently, the four-season room received new vinyl plank flooring, a mini-split system, and a new french door. The large primary suite features double ceiling fans, more than enough space for a king-size bedroom set, and a large walk-in closet. With private access to the four-season room just off your bedroom, your morning coffee will never be the same. Since 2021, the property has received over $100k in updates/improvements. Updates include natural gas service, new roofs on the house and barn with extended life shingles, new furnace and central A/C, whole-home Generac generator, new septic drain field, reverse osmosis system and more. The homeowners also purchased LG Profile and Bosch kitchen and laundry appliances that are included in the purchase of this home. The list of improvements is extensive, but the peace of mind is priceless. As with any well-loved home, there are a few cosmetic dents and scratches throughout. Rather than make design choices that may not suit the next owner, the current homeowners chose to leave those decisions for the person who will ultimately live here and enjoy them. It's an opportunity to make the cosmetic touches your own while knowing the major systems and improvements have already been addressed. 5490 W. Howe Road offers the space and flexibility of country living with the convenience of being close to numerous local parks, shopping and dining. The combination of acreage, oversized barn, finished bonus space, and extensive mechanical updates this a property worth seeing.
