Description

Welcome to your dream retreat! This beautifully updated 5-bedroom home sits on just over an acre, giving you plenty of space to spread out and enjoy life. Inside, you’ll love the open, flowing layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Fresh paint, brand-new carpet, a new roof (W/blown-in insulation added too), and a new HVAC system mean you can move right in without a worry!

Outside, there’s even more to love—a charming workshop with a front porch, rustic wood accents, and its own half bath. With a little creativity, it could easily be transformed into the ultimate guest house or hobby space. Need extra storage? The pole barn has you covered, complete with electricity already in place.

And here’s the bonus: this property is in highly sought-after Flood Zone C, so flood insurance isn’t required—and there’s no history of flooding.

Don’t wait- Come see it for yourself and fall in love!

    "The town schedules seasonal events that are fun and free for families, 4th of July fireworks and Easter Egg hunts with free hotdogs or burgers. Smokin’ BBQ cookout and Sicilian Heritage Festival are fun highlights. Also locally owned restaurants and a splash park with a new pavilion clean public restrooms which are a plus for families with small kids. The town is small but there is a lot of clean safe fun to be had year around. The guy who helps you at the hardware store owns it and he lives here. It’s that kind of town. "
