Once upon a time in a serene wooded area, nestled on 5.78 acres of lush greenery, stood a charming 1979 A-frame home that beckoned those in search of tranquility and space. This unique property, boasting 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, offered a generous 2,934 square feet of living space, perfect for families or anyone seeking room to breathe.
As you approached the home, you were greeted by beautifully landscaped gardens that blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings. A small pond added to the picturesque setting, providing a peaceful atmosphere and a perfect spot for quiet reflection. Adjacent to the house, a shed offered ample storage for gardening tools or outdoor equipment, ensuring that the property was as functional as it was inviting.
One of the standout features was the striking red barn with concrete floors and insulation, making it an ideal place for entertaining friends and family. The wood-burning stove provided a cozy alternative for heat during the chilly months, enhancing the home's charm and comfort.
The heart of the home was undoubtedly its open loft, which added a sense of spaciousness and light, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings or relaxation. The well-equipped kitchen, with a back deck just off it, allowed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for hosting summer barbecues or enjoying morning coffee while taking in the serene views.
With city water and 200-amp service, this A-frame home combined modern conveniences with rustic charm, making it a true sanctuary in the woods. It was more than just a house; it was a lifestyle, a retreat, and a place where memories were waiting to be made.
For anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this property was a dream come true—a perfect blend of nature and comfort in a remarkable setting.
