    What's special

    Main level laundrySurrounded by mature treesTiled floorsSpacious walk in closetCustom double vanityBuilt in shelving
    A wooded retreat right in Newton. Set on approximately 2 acres, this completely remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is surrounded by mature trees and features a former horse trail winding through the property beneath a natural canopy. The L shaped acreage offers surprising depth, privacy, and room to walk, explore, garden, or simply enjoy your own outdoor escape. The home was taken down to the exterior walls, trusses, and foundation, with nearly everything else replaced. Updates include new electrical wiring, fixtures and panel, plumbing, tankless water heater, air conditioning, windows, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, and solid wood doors. LP siding, the roof, and gutters were completed in 2025. A new furnace, approximately 20 feet of foundation wall, sump pit and pump, and stone veneer were completed in 2026. Inside, you will find generous kitchen cabinetry and counter space, built in shelving, a spacious walk in closet, and a distinctive primary bathroom with dual barn doors, a custom double vanity, tiled floors, main level laundry, and a fully tiled walk in shower with a rainfall shower head. All kitchen appliances, washer, and dryer are included. If you have been searching for a move in ready home with wooded acreage, privacy, and trails, this is one you need to experience in person.
