Peace and serenity. Conveniently located just two miles out of town, the location of this house is its greatest trait. Just a mile off pavement on a winding gravel road, you'll find this quaint little home full of charm. The home features three good-sized bedrooms and a centrally located bath. In the home's family room, you'll find a wood-burning fireplace and a large picture window that lets in an abundant amount of natural light. Outside the home has an expansive yard, a workshop with a lean-to previously used as a chicken coop, as well as another garden shed. The yard has multiple fruit trees and grape vines, and plenty of room for a large garden if you desire. The home's brick exterior gives it a timeless look yet makes maintenance and upkeep a breeze. This would make the perfect starter home or an excellent retirement home. This is the first time the home has ever been offered for sale, and it's sure not to last long. See this one today!
