This charming mini-farm is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet close enough to still enjoy restaurants and shopping. The ideal wide-open space, with fresh air and room to truly spread out - for you, the kids, or the fur babies! This recently renovated home feels warm and inviting, with beautiful new flooring, a thoughtfully updated kitchen with SS appliances, granite counters, farm sink, pantry and convenient breakfast bar. Tons of natural light in the open family room with a beautiful wood burning stove that could heat up the whole house on a cold winter night! The master bedroom suite is on the main with an updated bath, and office/nursery space. Upstairs features 2 large bedrooms and another updated full bath. Plenty of closet space and storage! The property includes a 1 acre paddock with a wood and electric fence, ideal for your horses! An impressive three-car garage with an incredible amount of storage above the garage, there’s room for everything and then some. The 3rd bay in the garage can be converted back to a horse stall. Need a place to store your RV or boat or other outdoor toys? The tall covered shed was built just for you! The wrap-around porch is the best spot for morning coffee, watching the kids play or spend an evening enjoying the quiet and star-gazing around the backyard fire-pit. If you’ve been dreaming of a quieter, country lifestyle with space to breathe and grow, this just might be the home you’ve been waiting for.
