Highest and best called for by thursday, august 12, 2021 at 6:00 pm. Like that Wisconsin feel? This home makes you feel like you are there! This 3-4 bedroom, 2 bath home is meticulously maintained. The oversized driveway is great for those who have an RV or other vehicles. Hardwood floors are throughout the main level. The entrance leads you to the kitchen with a planter area and many custom cabinets. Many pull-out drawers. There's even a pop-up tray for the mixer - a must-have for those who love to bake and cook. There is also a secret cabinet for the microwave - it is there. The dining room and living room have views of the gorgeous backyard. There is an array of perennials in this yard - different blooms throughout the year. The owners lovingly thought this through. There is wildlife too. You will not believe you are living in town when looking out the back windows. For those who love to garden, there is also a garden and shed for the gardening tools. The living room also has a fireplace. A great place to get rid of those chills. There is also an office (which can be a fourth bedroom). The master bedroom has a bathroom with a standup shower only. Bedroom 2 has a custom wooden closet organizer. The hall bath has been fully remodeled. The enclosed porch is great for evening entertainment as is the brick paver patio. The firepit is a wonderful way to enjoy the fall evenings. The basement is unfinished with a lot of space for storing items or finishing it the way you want. There is also a shop/workroom for those handypeople looking for a place to work. The garage is attached but there is no access to the home from the garage. You'll truly be impressed with the condition of this home and the backyard. Garage measures 20x20. Updates: sewer line in 2013; water softener 2014; Roof 2015; some appliances and all windows replaced in 2016; kitchen countertops in 2017; hall bathroom remodeled in 2018; water heater 2019 [7 yrs left on the warranty]. You will truly feel like you are in Wisconsin.
