The main and upper levels provide over 3,700 sq ft of HLA with 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a half bath. A large primary suite addition completed in 2001 was designed with handicap accessibility in mind, featuring an oversized curbless shower, wide entry points, and a spacious layout. An additional primary suite upstairs and generously sized secondary bedrooms provide plenty of space for family and guests. The finished basement adds more than 1,700 sq ft of heated living area with a second kitchen and flexible rooms that can serve as a recreation space, gym, media room, or additional family living. The outdoor amenities make this property truly special. A covered front porch invites you to sit and relax, while the enclosed sun porch at the back overlooks the private yard, an in-ground pool, and fenced tennis court, creating a perfect setting for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. An oversized attached two-car garage provides convenient access, while a detached three-car garage offers even more storage and includes an insulated but unfinished room above—ideal for a future office, studio, workshop, or guest suite. An attached pole barn adds even more functionality and is perfectly suited for farm equipment, hobby use, or additional storage. This home combines the enduring quality of a property that has been lovingly maintained by its original owners with the size and amenities rarely found in today’s market. With its spacious floor plan, accessible primary suite, abundant storage, and outdoor features, it is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity for those seeking space, character, and country living.
