Please call or text me at (618)663-2750 if you have questions or would like to view the home and property. This home is 1/4th of a mile off the road with plenty of privacy. You can watch the ducks swim on the pond from the table at breakfast, curl up and watch the fire in the (highly-efficient) wood stove, listen to the birds from the back deck, or catch a deer grazing out one of the 3 windows in the master bedroom. If hunting is your thing, walking <300yds to the tree stand out back is always nice. The front yard is perfect for playing fetch with the dogs and a slip-and-slide kickball party with friends. The gravel road on the property is nice for evening walks to go pick easter lilies from the field. The trails through the woods are nice for riding atvs. The sycamore tree and 12+ft-deep pond do well for a rope swing, and the cozy back yard is excellent for frequent bonfires. We built this house in 2013 with the intention of staying long-term and building on as our family grew. It has a rustic-yet-modern feel with 9ft ceilings, recessed lighting, modern fixtures, stained concrete and tile, and pallet-wood features. The kitchen has Corian counter tops with a built-in butcher block by the stove, a deep sink, and plenty of storage space. The HVAC was purchased and installed new in 2013 with a heat pump, electric furnace, and central air. The windows are titanium lo-E, argon-filled and dressed with thermal roman shades. The top and bottom panes fold out for easy cleaning. The north and south ends of the house have very bright, motion-sensored security lights. The barn had a new metal roof installed in 2014, and its exterior metal walls and doors were repainted in 2016. There is also low-maintenance landscaping around the sidewalks and a young blossoming pear planted in the front yard. Call or text any time if you have questions or would like to come take a look for yourself! (618)663-2750 *Zestimate does not reflect an accurate value of the property with the home.
