Surrounded by mature woodlands, the property provides privacy, space, and comfort in a serene natural setting. Inside, you'll find a spacious, open layout with new LVP flooring throughout (excluding the bathrooms). The large living area features a dual-sided gas-log fireplace, and the kitchen is equipped with a center island, abundant cabinet and counter space, plus both a breakfast nook and a formal dining area. The split-bedroom design offers privacy, with the primary suite occupying one side of the home. The oversized primary bath includes dual vanities, a garden tub, separate shower, and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite end of the home. A laundry/mudroom is conveniently located at the back entrance. Outdoor living is just as enjoyable, with a spacious covered front deck, a mix of open yard and woods, two outbuildings for storage, and an electric hookup for an RV—perfect for guests or extended stays. The home sits on a permanent block foundation and is considered real property by the tax office. Being sold partially furnished, this property is just 15 minutes from West Jefferson, 18 minutes from Lansing, and 51 minutes from Boone—offering peaceful mountain living with quick access to town.
