Welcome to your dream retreat! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on 2.77 acres of beautifully landscaped rural land with sweeping vista views that stretch for miles. With nearly 1800 sq ft of finished space, it offers comfort, character, and room to roam. The attached 1-car garage plus oversized 2+ car detached garage and shed provide ample space for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. A freshly sealed paved driveway adds curb appeal and offers generous parking and turnaround space for large private vehicles.
Step inside to a spacious living room with fresh paint, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and custom built-ins. The dining area features French doors with built-in blinds that open to a low-maintenance composite deck—perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. The kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, double oven, abundant cabinetry, built-in pantry, and custom tile flooring.
Two comfortable bedrooms share an updated hall bath with granite vanity and tub/shower combo. The primary bedroom offers a peaceful reading nook (ideal for a writing desk) and a private half bath for added convenience. Downstairs, enjoy barn wood wainscot, barn doors, a dry bar, separate rec room, and a large storage area to keep living spaces clutter-free.
Outside, the expansive backyard opens to wide field views—ideal for summer fun, gardening, or simply soaking in the serenity. This property blends rural charm with modern comfort.
