Step back in time with this charming 1930's bungalow nestled on just under 5 acres of peaceful countryside. Offering the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, this property sits on its own slice of paradise just minutes from town - a location that's hard to beat. Recent improvements provide a strong head start for the next owner. A new 200-amp electric panel with underground service has been installed (in last 10 years), along with a new roof, siding, and soffit since 2022. Blown-in insulation has been added to all exterior walls for improved efficiency, baseboard heat has been installed, and the bathroom has been updated. Inside, you'll find a cozy living room, kitchen, bedroom, full bathroom, large pantry, and a back porch offering additional storage or flex space. The covered front porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. A 60x30 detached garage with a 4-inch concrete floor and electricity adds incredible potential. Repair the existing structure or build a new barn on the existing concrete pad to suit your needs. This property is being sold AS IS. All items in the garage, with the exception of the motorcycle, will remain with the sale.
