About This Home
Assumable 2.75% VA loan may be available...contact listing agent for details. If peace and privacy are on your must-have list, this one delivers! Picture this: you pull into the driveway and the trees close in around you on three sides, like the forest itself is standing guard. Over an acre of land, and somehow it stays flat and usable instead of the steep terrain so common in this area. This is a lot you can actually walk, garden, and live on. Step onto the front porch and you'll want to grab a seat and get lost in the surroundings. The view stretches out far enough to make your cup of coffee last a little longer every morning. In the evenings, the saltwater hot tub (just a few years young) turns this into the kind of backyard people usually only dream about. Inside, the kitchen and main-level bathroom were recently remodeled with an eye for quality over trend, so you get the updates without the "flip house" feel. The ensuite bedroom on the main level is a fantastic one-level living option. Out back, a garage-sized shed and a separate potting shed give you room for tools, toys, or a hobby waiting to happen, and there's a garden plot already established for anyone who wants fresh vegetables all summer long. This is a property that's already figured out what matters: privacy, usability, upgrades that make daily life easier. Come see why the setting sells itself.
