Description

Motivated sellers, bring your vision and your offers! This custom-built estate on 3.8 acres delivers the kind of space, flexibility, and utility that’s increasingly hard to find at this price point. Boasting quality construction, thoughtful additions and limitless potential for the next owners to discover. Designed for both everyday living and specialized needs, the property features extensive garage capacity, six attached garage bays, a 40’x80’ pole building, and multiple outbuildings – ideal for contractors, hobbyists, business owners, or anyone needing serious storage and workspace. Step onto the welcoming covered front porch and into a spacious tiled foyer, flanked by a formal dining room on one side and a sitting room on the other. One of the standout features of this home is the 781 sq ft in-law suite, complete with a full kitchen, vaulted-ceiling living room, bedroom, bathroom, its own 2-car garage, washer/dryer hookups, attic storage, and accessibility features like lever door handles, wide doorways, and a roll-in shower, perfect for guests, family, or rental income. From the sitting room, flow into a private den ideal for a home office, then into a sunroom flooded with natural light, leading out to a reinforced deck (hot tub ready) and peaceful backyard views. The Amish-built kitchen boasts custom woodwork, a massive island with seating, a dinette, and a walk-in pantry that includes a stackable washer/dryer. The family room is equally impressive with rich applewood laminate flooring, cedar-accent wall, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. Down the hall, you'll find a full bathroom and coat closets on your way to the garages. Upstairs, the home offers three generously sized bedrooms, a shared hall bath with dual vanity and deep linen closet, plus an attic accessible by standard stairs, perfect for additional storage. The primary suite features double-door entry, a luxurious bath with jetted tub, dual vanities, tiled stall shower, private toilet room, and a massive walk-in closet. The garage and workshop space is a dream: The first garage is oversized with three bay doors (all with openers). The second garage offers a 2-car door and a manual bay, plus built-in cabinetry, shelving, and access to a large storage loft with electricity. The breezeway connects everything and houses an oil tank for heating the workshop and garages. Finally, the 40’x80’ pole building features a 12’x12’ RV door and 8’ overhead door, along with built-in compressed air piping throughout, perfect for mechanical work or large equipment. While some buyers may choose to update finishes over time, the square footage, land, and infrastructure are already in place—offering a strong foundation for customization and long-term value. If you’ve been searching for a property that offers space, versatility, and opportunity, this is one you don’t want to miss.
