The main level offers a very versatile floor plan. Off the entry there is a nice formal living room with laminate flooring which flows into the kitchen. There you will find a modern 30 handle light oak kitchen with Corain counters and newer appliances. From the kitchen you can go one direction to two bedrooms and a remodeled full bath. Go the other way and you enter the incredible family room addition! This great space is highlighted by a floor to ceiling shadow rock fire place with a pellet stove insert, open beam vaulted ceiling, and ample windows which seems to bring the outside in! The second floor offers two additional bedrooms and unique built in hallway storage. The lower level features a 23x16 space that was remodeled and is currently used as the master bedroom. With it's own entrance this space also could be a great in law quarters. The current owners have made heating and cooling this home very efficient as well. There is a propane furnace with central air, and a wood stove that is tied into the heating system that can be used to keep costs low. Or one can use the family room pellet stove to heat most of the first floor and the upstairs. Spring is right around the corner and you'll love spending time on the large 50x14 covered rear patio. There is ample parking with a basement level 1 car attached garage and a detached 2 car carport. Being located across from Nolde Forest, one is sure to enjoy the regular visits from deer and the local wildlife. All the benefits of country living while being only minutes from shopping, restaurants, and major roadways. Set up your showing today!
