The spacious primary bedroom offers plenty of room to relax and includes a private full bath featuring a walk-in shower. Additional highlights include a full unfinished basement, an attached two-car garage, and three outdoor patios perfect for enjoying the peaceful setting. The rear patio is equipped with a removable awning, creating a comfortable outdoor retreat overlooking the natural surroundings. For hobbyists, business owners, contractors, or anyone in need of exceptional workspace and storage, the property also features an impressive 30' x 40' outbuilding with 10-foot ceilings and a dedicated office. The building includes an 8-foot-high two-car garage door, its own 100-amp electrical service run with 12-gauge wire, a floor drain, propane heat, and a separate air conditioning unit, creating a versatile and comfortable space for work, storage, hobbies, or a home-based business.
