Property Description
The home showcases timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout, highlighted by a dreamy wraparound front porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. A fenced yard adds both charm and functionality, complete with a custom-built playhouse.
Additional features include an oversized 2-car garage and a separate outbuilding equipped with electric and A/C—ideal for a workshop, studio, or private retreat. Flexible laundry options are available with a stackable setup in the front bedroom or a secondary location in the basement just beyond the kitchenette.
Inside, the home offers four spacious bedrooms with room to grow. The finished basement provides two additional rooms that can function as bedrooms, offices, a home gym, or extra storage. A second living area, kitchenette, and full bathroom create the perfect setup for extended living, guests, or multi-generational use.
For those looking ahead, building plans for a home addition have already been drafted and can be made available during negotiations—offering a seamless path for future expansion.
Bonus Opportunity: Additional Lot Across the Street. A true standout feature of this property is the 0.4-acre lot located directly across the street, available for purchase separately (MLS #26023961) or can be negotiated into the purchase of this home. This lot is already equipped with a lagoon system, a well, and electric on-site. Completed plans for a two-story home can also accompany this lot purchase, offering immediate usability and long-term value.
Whether used for additional parking (work vehicles, trailers, or guests), a detached garage or shop, secure storage for equipment or recreational vehicles, or future construction, the possibilities are wide open.
Just as importantly, owning this lot provides a built-in privacy buffer—helping preserve your views and ensuring no unexpected development directly across from your home. It's a rare level of control that adds both peace of mind and lasting value.
With land, character, expansion potential, and the unique ability to control your surroundings, this is a truly rare offering just minutes from town.
