Welcome home to this warm, inviting ranch set on 5 peaceful acres—a perfect fit for first-time buyers looking for space, comfort, and a rural lifestyle. Built in 1972 and thoughtfully updated, this 3–4 bedroom home features a welcoming entry that leads into a bright living room with a beautiful open view of the surrounding woods. The custom kitchen offers gorgeous cabinetry, ceramic tile flooring, and all appliances—including a new Jenn-Air—making meal prep easy from day one.
Hardwood floors flow through much of the main level, while replacement windows bring in natural light throughout. The home includes 2.5 baths, a versatile den or fourth bedroom, and two cozy wood-burning fireplaces—one on the main level and one in the walkout lower-level family room. The basement also provides great hobby or workshop space, including a former darkroom that offers additional creative possibilities.
A two-car attached garage and generous mechanical/workshop area add extra convenience and room for projects. With a roof approximately 4–5 years old and solid mechanicals, this home offers peace of mind along with plenty of charm. Enjoy the quiet rural setting, wooded views, and the freedom of 5 private acres—all while settling into a home that’s ready for your next chapter.
