Set on 7 quiet and scenic acres, this property offers over 4,200 finished square feet of thoughtfully designed living space — perfect for those seeking room to spread out both indoors and out. The heart of the home is a bright, beautiful kitchen featuring a corner sink with wraparound windows, allowing you to take in picturesque views while completing daily tasks. An additional prep sink and a built-in hutch in the dining room make entertaining a breeze. The living room boasts crystal clear floor-to-ceiling windows and a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A sunny four-season porch offers the perfect spot to relax year-round. Conveniently, a main floor bedroom and full bathroom provide flexible living options, while the upper level features four more bedrooms. The lower level expands your living space even further with a second kitchen, a comfortable family room, and another bathroom — ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a separate entertaining area. It could also be a potential rental opportunity if you choose. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a large deck perfect for gatherings, multiple outbuildings for storage and hobbies, and a sizable pole shed located towards the back of the property. The pole shed is plumbed for you to add in-floor heat in the future. One of the additional outbuildings has in-floor heat in the lower level shed and also includes a semi-finished space currently set up as a game room, offering endless possibilities. There is also the possibility of pasturing horses, as the acres have hosted horses in the past. If you're dreaming of peaceful country living with modern conveniences and abundant space, this property is a must-see!
