About this home

Two homes, one property, and more potential than most buyers will know what to do with. The main brick ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a formal living room, a den with new gas log fireplace, and an open kitchen and dining layout finished with hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The attached two-car carport keeps vehicles covered and the 2.5 acres level and usable. The guest cottage is a legitimate second dwelling with its own permitted septic system, 1 bed, 1 bath, mini-split, kitchen area, and LVP flooring throughout. Use it for Airbnb, a long-term tenant, in-laws, or a caretaker. The 1,916 sq ft insulated shop and garage is framed for a bathroom and built to handle real work, whether that means a car collection, a contractor operation, or a small business. Add a run-in shelter, barn, tack and feed building, and flat open pasture and this property works equally well as a hobby farm or an income-producing investment. State-maintained road access. No city taxes. A couple photos represent AI furnishings and removal.
