Serene Retreat on 1.23 Acres – Private, Set-Back, wooded and quiet!
Escape the hustle and bustle in this spacious 2-story brick and vinyl home, perfectly positioned off the road on a sprawling 1.23-acre lot. This property offers the ultimate in privacy, nestled away from the street for a quiet, sanctuary-like atmosphere. The heart of the home is the expansive great room, where rich hardwood floors meet a sunny wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and offer panoramic views of your private backyard. This home will need updates throughout. Not an ideal choice for a first time homebuyer with limited funds. We are fully aware that the home needs updates/upgrades which is why it is priced where it is for this size of a home on a lot like this.
Cozy up by the fireplace or step out onto the massive screened porch, an entertainer’s dream that allows you to enjoy the wooded outdoors in total comfort. Both the living room and great room and diving room are very large so will be great for entertaining lots of guests or having a large family. For those who appreciate a clean aesthetic, the side-load garage maintains the home’s sleek curb appeal. With all bedrooms tucked away on the second floor, the main level remains a wide-open space for living and gathering. If you’ve been searching for peace, quiet, and room to breathe, and are ready to update and make it your own, this is the one!
