This 2,446-square-foot residence was professionally designed and constructed as the seller's "forever home." Offered at a price significantly below the market average per square foot, this home is much larger than most in the neighborhood. The property boasts a spacious front porch with a swing and a covered back porch area perfect for outdoor enjoyment. The interior features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office or craft room, a large laundry room with an additional pantry, and a massive bonus room. The functional kitchen includes a specialized coffee bar with its own water supply, while the high-quality, efficient wood-burning fireplace with an automatic fan is capable of warming the entire house! The primary suite features an adjacent nursery or potential office, and the master bath includes a Jacuzzi tub, dual-head shower, and walk-in closet. Modern efficiency is prioritized with a high-efficiency heat pump water heater and a timer-controlled recirculating pump to minimize utility costs. Situated on two usable, flat acres—half of which remains wooded for privacy and trails—the exterior is meticulously prepared. Outbuildings include a chicken coop with electricity and an attached wood shed, as well as a garden shed with electricity, shelving, and lean-to storage. Gardening enthusiasts will love the large fenced, chemical-free garden with raised beds and established fruit plants, plus numerous perennial flower beds featuring roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and a sizable dahlia bed. A kitchen herb garden is conveniently located off the back porch. Practical additions include multiple outdoor water spigots (including hot/cold), an RV electrical plug, and a generator-ready setup. They truly thought of everything! This location is a hunting, fishing, and hiking paradise, offering summer boating and recreation on Lake Merwin and Yale Lake, with Swift Lake just a short drive away.
