Peace. Serenity. Move in ready. Mini farmette. Well built. Acreage. Get Ready! These are just a FEW of the MANY qualities this property has to offer! Bring your horse and other farm animals to this 2 +/- acre parcel. This custom-built home is set on a beautiful lot and is complete with cedar siding that was just stained. Four bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house and 1 bedroom, 1 bath in the apartment. Walk in the front door to an open concept home with vaulted ceilings and cedar plank walls. Upstairs you will find the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Downstairs you will find a beautiful floor to ceiling stone fireplace. You can even enjoy it while you're in the kitchen. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the first floor. Walk down into the basement and you're greeted with another room that is currently used as an office but could be used as an additional bedroom. Sit at the bar and enjoy entertaining or play some pool! There is access out to the two-car garage from the basement as well! In the garage you'll find a set of steps that lead up to an unfinished area that is perfect for all of your holiday decoration storage or finish it for extra square footage! You'll also find another door in the garage that leads to the efficiency and handicap accessible apartment with a separate living area, 1 bedroom, 1 bath and full kitchen and laundry. This apartment or In-law suite has its own propane (heater just replaced), electric meter and water meter so it's ready for a rental for extra income! Outside you'll find a fenced in back yard, brand new dec with a pergola, and let's not forget the barn that is outfitted with 1 horse stall electric and water, so bring your horse! But wait! Now we'll talk about the updates and amenities! New carpet was installed in 2018. Dual thermostat heating/cooling system with a humidifier/dehumidifier included, brand-new roof was installed in 2021. A good portion of the home and apartment were just re-taped, spackled and painted. Both outbuildings have electric, and the barn is outfitted with filtered water as well, even the chicken coop is self-sufficient! When the home was built, all the exterior basement walls were craned in, reinforced concrete slabs with an R-21.3 insulation and steel beams inside the slabs when once sealed, it was completely waterproofed. If you want country living, this is the house for you! Schedule your tour to walk in the door today!
