With a fresh modern interior, a massive barn, and room to grow, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and opportunity - all less than a mile from Coventry Lake. The home offers 918 sq ft of thoughtfully updated living space. Recent improvements include a brand-new interior with fresh paint and new appliances, an upgraded furnace and main breaker. The roof was fully replaced in 2024, including new plywood underlayment. The exterior has also been completely refreshed - featuring new paint, a new garage door, a repointed chimney, a newly sealed foundation, and new underground downspout drainage. The septic system was updated with a new D-box, and both the house and barn now have freshly paved driveways for added convenience. At the heart of the property is a 1,408 sq ft barn (32'x44') with two 10'x10' overhead doors - ideal for contractors, hobbyists, boat/car storage, or launching your dream farm. The barn has been cleaned out and improved with a millings floor, offering ample space for equipment, animals, or workshop use. With plenty of land for gardens, chickens, or other animals, and a small private pond to enjoy, this is the perfect setting to live out your homesteading or hobby farm dreams - all while being just minutes from schools, restaurants, emergency services, and recreation at Coventry Lake.
