Description

This country home is a serene retreat! From the charming front porch to the thoughtful updates and amenities, it offers a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Add in 2011, the great room, with its cathedral ceiling and woodburning stove, is the heart of the home—a perfect gathering space for family and friends. The mix of hardwood, bamboo, cork, and other flooring materials adds character and warmth to each room. The inclusion of a vintage kitchen cupboard adds a unique touch of history and nostalgia. And having a main level office, additional room, and full bathroom/laundry room offers convenience and flexibility for various lifestyles. The property's updates, including the replacement windows, well pump (2022), and septic system (2014), indicate a well-maintained home ready for its new owners to enjoy. The use of geothermal power for heating and cooling, blown in wall and spray foam insulation along with wood fired in-floor heat in the office, is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. With two larger barns and several smaller utility buildings, there's ample storage and workspace for vehicles, hobbies or projects. The screened-in gazebo and deck provide inviting outdoor spaces to enjoy the surrounding nature. The inclusion of a 5-acre walnut tree farm enrolled in the Forestry Program highlights a commitment to the preservation of natural beauty. Overall, this country home is a peaceful haven with a perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and natural beauty.
