Escape to the south end of Columbia, where this pristine ranch home sits on a sprawling nearly one-acre lot. This isn’t just a house; it’s a testament to "pride of ownership." Surrounded by the quiet hum of nature and bordering vast, open land, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion. Here, your evenings are defined by golden-hour sunsets and unobstructed views of the rolling farmland that stretches out behind your backyard. You'll love the rural location and enjoy many sunsets of the adjoining open land behind the home providing a sense of privacy while still be only a few minutes from the highway. Inside the home, you'll find pristine wood floors throughout all 3 bedrooms and living room which is anchored by the wood burning fireplace and large picture windows bringing in tons of natural light. Flowing into the kitchen and dining area you'll find ample oak cabinets with convenient pass through, and plenty of space for your formal dining room table. Just off the kitchen, an expansive family room serves as the home’s secondary social hub. Whether you need a sophisticated sitting room or a space to watch the big game, this room delivers.. This area also leads out to a rear patio perfect for spending time enjoying the outdoors and cookouts and taking in the breathtaking views of the rolling farmland. The main level also hosts 3 bedrooms, full hall bath with tub/shower combo, and plenty of closet space for storage. The downstairs has been finished to include a large rec room, a flexible bonus room that functions beautifully as a home office or a non-conforming fourth bedroom and 2nd full bath with stand-up shower. Additional storage and usable space can be found in the separate laundry room and also in the utility room. This home has tons of space throughout and has a fantastic location just outside of town while being only minutes from both Columbia and Waterloo. If you are looking for a rural and quite location with a huge yard, you've found it here. You won't want to let this one pass by.
