Property Description
This sprawling ranch sits on over 1.5 scenic acres in Fulton, offering more than 2,000 sq. ft. of meticulously-maintained living space. The open-concept layout features a spacious living room with a cozy gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a large kitchen equipped with a center island, stainless steel appliances, and tons of cabinet storage. A HUGE 19'x24' family room boasts a custom stone wood-burning fireplace with a blower unit and opens directly to an expansive deck and a powered, screened-in gazebo. The primary suite includes an attached private bath, complemented by two additional main-floor bedrooms and a second full bath. The outside is truly incredible... A partially fenced yard features a huge patio with a fire pit, a storage shed, and a sand-point well fed sprinkler system with perfect water pressure, all surrounded by mature tree cover. Outstanding practical features include a fully waterproofed basement with rough-in plumbing ready for custom finishing, a whole-home backup generator, a new roof (2021), and a new well (2020). The heated 3-car attached garage offers abundant storage alongside a finished 8'x36' walk-up attic space. You really need to get here and see how meticulously maintained this home has been!
