From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the extensive landscaping and circular driveway, recently sealed for a clean and polished approach. This home is packed with thoughtful updates and ready for you to enjoy this summer—sold fully furnished and truly turnkey. Step inside and be greeted by an inviting Great Room with a woodburning fireplace, wood floors, and serene wooded views. The kitchen features dark granite countertops, a newer sink, and stainless steel appliances, making it both stylish and functional. One of the standout features is the converted screened porch—now a four-season room with an added extension, offering access from both the living area and kitchen. It’s the perfect space to relax in any season. The main level also boasts a spacious primary suite, offering one-level living convenience. The fully finished walk-out lower level provides three additional bedrooms—one with an ensuite and two that share a full bath—along with a laundry area. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with a newly stained upper deck featuring durable Fiberon planks and a pergola for shade, plus a screened-in lower deck with door access for easy indoor-outdoor flow. Deck furniture is included, so you’re ready to entertain or unwind right away. This home is thoughtfully equipped with smart siding, ridge guard for bat mitigation, an owned propane tank for heating and hot water, and a wood fireplace with a propane starter line installed. Fiber internet is in place. The detached two-car garage was added by the current owner, offering extra convenience and storage. Surrounding the home and garage are perennial gardens and low-maintenance prairie grass landscaping, minimizing mowing and maximizing natural beauty and wildlife sightings. The house has been recently deep cleaned, the driveway sealcoated, and landscaping freshly weeded—it's as move-in ready as they come. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, weekend getaway, or investment property, this all-season retreat checks every box. Conveniently located near Territory amenities and nestled in a quiet, wooded setting—your search ends here. Welcome home!
