The updated kitchen features a large center island, farmhouse sink, spacious pantry, and opens to a bright, sun-filled living room. The primary bedroom offers a beautifully updated full bath with a double vanity and stall shower. The main level also includes a guest room and exercise room. The 2nd level offers two additional bedrooms. Major improvements have already been completed, including a new roof (2026), updated electric, plumbing, central air, and tankless water heater (all 2021), plus a new 3-bedroom septic system with AquaKlear monitoring (2022). Several outbuildings offer additional storage and potential but require some TLC. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy country living with all the major updates already done!
