Experience the tranquility of country living without giving up convenience. Ideally located between Mount Vernon and Evansville’s west side, just off Ford Road, this home offers a quiet, private setting while remaining close to everyday amenities. Situated on 3.17 acres, the property provides endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors from gardening and wildlife watching to embracing a homesteading lifestyle, with room for chickens if desired. The home is thoughtfully designed to feel both spacious and inviting, featuring a warm and efficient layout ideal for everyday living. With 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a generously sized laundry room, the open floor plan is filled with natural light, and the wood-burning stove in the living room adds cozy charm and offers a way to help keep utility costs low. Set well back from the road, the home offers exceptional privacy and is largely hidden from view. A wooded side yard serves as a peaceful natural backdrop, attracting wildlife and enhancing the calm, secluded atmosphere, an ideal retreat for those seeking privacy and peace. While the home is in need of some cosmetic finishes and personal touch, the sellers are offering a $6,000 flooring/finishing allowance so the new home owner can truly make this feel like home, their home.
