Sitting on approx. 2.4 acres along a hard road, this property strikes a great balance between country living and convenience. The home features two main-floor bedrooms with hardwood flooring, while the rest of the living space has been updated with newer LVP flooring and fresh paint. The kitchen flows naturally into an informal dining area, which opens up to a spacious living room, creating a comfortable, functional layout. The walkout basement adds valuable extra space, with finished walls and a versatile layout that includes a large family room or kids’ play area, a third bedroom with a full-size window, a half bath, and a dedicated laundry and mechanical room. With direct access to the backyard, it’s a setup that offers flexibility for a growing family. Outside is where this property really starts to shine. A 30'x40' pole barn w/ power and partial concrete floor, along with an additional loafing shed that can easily accommodate animals. Whether you’ve been thinking about a few chickens, a pony, or just want room for dogs to roam, this property is well-suited for a small hobby farm setup. With vinyl siding, a metal roof, LP forced air heat, and central air conditioning, this is a low-maintenance home that’s ready for its next owner. Located in the highly regarded United School District.
