Property Description
OPEN HOUSE TUESDAY AUGUST 18TH 5-6PM!! Convenient, country living on the China/Palermo line This five-bedroom, two-full-bath home was built in 1967 and has been lovingly cared for by its original owner. While the interior reflects its era with wallpaper and paneling, the home's solid structure and generous footprint offer tremendous potential for a growing family, with dedicated space that could also accommodate a home-based family business. There is so much that can be done to make this home truly your own, and even a few small updates could quickly modernize the space. Be sure to check out the AI-generated photos that illustrate just how easily the home can be transformed. Set high on a hill in a peaceful, private-feeling setting, the property is surrounded on three sides by a vast lawn, creating plenty of room for children and pets to play, gardening, family barbecues, and simply relaxing outdoors. You can move in right away and take your time creating your perfect home at your own pace. Behind the home sits a 26' x 40' building, fondly called the 'Dream Shop' by the previous owner. With water and electricity already in place, this versatile space could serve as a small business, woodworking shop, workshop, or be converted into a barn for animals. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Stop in to view this one-of-a-kind opportunity, and see its potential for yourself.
