The main level has an open kitchen/living room combo with 3/4 wet bath & upstairs is a loft bedroom. Both have beautiful bamboo flooring. It's energy efficient with foam insulation, tankless water heater, a wood burner & mini-split heat & air system. Well planned storage keeps everything handy but out of the way The home has front and rear deck & is surrounded by woods & a grove of Burr Oak trees, that deer love. The home was built the home with plans of building a larger home on the property. They planned well for this by having the incoming water line ''T'ed'' for splitting later & electric sized for a bigger home. Some furnishings may stay
