About this home

Not your average 3-bed, 1-bath—this one actually gives you space to breathe. Set on ~0.40 acres, it opens with a screened porch that practically begs for morning coffee or late-night unwinding. Inside is simple, functional, and easy to live in, while outside delivers extra room plus outbuildings for storage or projects. Quiet Ellenboro setting with quick access to Hwy 74, local shops, and nearby parks and trails.
