The eat-in kitchen, though compact, is thoughtfully designed and includes a convenient door leading to the rear deck. This allows for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, ideal for entertaining or enjoying a quiet meal amidst nature. The primary bedroom is a haven of comfort with two ample closets and beautiful hardwood flooring, ensuring a restful retreat. 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.
