This charming home boasts a sprawling, sun-drenched, level front yard and an expansive backyard, perfect for joyous gatherings, cozy evenings around the firepit, and even the possibility of having your own horse/s. Elegant Living in a Pristine Setting: This split-level home, set on 2.5 breathtaking acres, features a living space elegantly positioned on the upper floor, comprising 3 cozy bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Relish the modern comforts of new laminate flooring across the main living areas. The kitchen comes equipped with stainless appliances and a chic stone backsplash. The sellers have tastefully upgraded the light fixtures, enhancing the home's charm. Outdoor Bliss and Scenic Views: Start your mornings with a refreshing coffee on the covered back deck, your special nook for dining under the stars, offering elevated views of the vast, open spaces nearby. Versatile and Spacious Lower Level: The lower floor presents a blend of finished and unfinished spaces, including a 3rd full bath, two external entrances, and a second wood-burning fireplace. The finished area features a hallway, laundry closet, and 3 versatile rooms, ideal for a future teen or in-law suite with minimal investment. The unfinished section serves perfectly as a workshop or storage area. One room is already plumbed for a kitchenette.
