Situated on a spacious 1.85-acre corner lot, the property is surrounded by scenic views of woods and open farm fields. Inside, an inviting open-concept layout connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area, highlighted by a cathedral ceiling, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. The kitchen is equipped with all-electric appliances and flows seamlessly into the main living space—ideal for everyday living or entertaining. At the rear of the home, a cozy family room features a woodstove with a brick hearth and opens to a large deck overlooking the backyard, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a full bath. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath are located on the opposite side of the home, offering a comfortable and functional layout. A convenient laundry room leads directly into the oversized 24' x 28' two-car garage, providing ample storage and workspace. The property is being sold as part of an estate sale and is offered AS-IS. A recent septic inspection indicated one line is not functioning; the sellers have obtained a soil evaluation for a replacement system but will not be making repairs or installing a new system. A wonderful opportunity for buyers seeking space, scenery, and potential in a serene country setting.
