Modern mechanicals throughout the home have been updated, providing peace of mind and reliability. Also, a generator is available to ensure uninterrupted power during outages, adding an extra layer of security and convenience. An exceptional feature of this property is its potential for expansion. Positioned on a spacious 1-acre lot, the septic system is strategically located at the front of the house, leaving room for additions or modifications. This flexibility makes the home appealing as an condo alternative to those seeking a special living environment. It's truly a gem, offering modern amenities and room for future growth.
