Property Description
Tucked away in the quiet countryside of Harrington, this well-maintained ranch home offers the kind of space, privacy, and flexibility that's getting harder to find. Set on 1.8 acres with peaceful views of neighboring horses, this property invites you to slow down and enjoy the simple things-morning coffee on the front porch, evenings on the back deck, and room to truly spread out. Inside, the home features an open-concept layout connecting the living room, kitchen, and dining area, complete with a cozy gas fireplace. A bright sunroom adds even more versatility-perfect for a home office, sitting room, or play space. The primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and private bath with a walk-in shower, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. Wider doorways throughout the entire home offer added accessibility as well as support bars in each bathroom for safety. Outside is where this property really shines-featuring a large multi-bay pole building ideal for hobbies, storage, or small business needs, along with an attached 2-car garage. Additional highlights include a new metal roof, Starlink internet availability, partial concrete driveway and no HOA restrictions. If you've been searching for a peaceful setting with practical features and room to grow... this might be the one that finally feels like home.
