Perfect country living! Situated on 8.8 acres, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath property offers the space, privacy, and peaceful setting many buyers are searching for, tucked away among the trees with abundant wildlife. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with blowers, complemented by custom built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, while wood plantation shutters, vaulted ceilings, and updated lighting create an open yet comfortable atmosphere with the ability to set a more intimate mood. Just off the living area, the formal dining room provides ideal space for entertaining and flows seamlessly into the kitchen for everyday functionality. The updated kitchen features knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with electric cooktop and breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances approximately four years old, along with ample room for a breakfast table, impressive pantry storage, and a built-in desk nook. An oversized laundry room doubles as a functional workspace and offers generous storage and a utility sink. The primary bedroom easily accommodates large furniture and includes an ensuite with dual sinks, a separate makeup vanity, jetted tub, and walk-in closet. A spiral staircase leads to a loft overlooking the bedroom, currently used as a home office, complete with custom built-ins and a wet bar, with all loft furniture remaining. Two additional bedrooms are nicely sized, and the hall bathroom was remodeled approximately four years ago. The home is supported by 21 concrete piers beneath the slab and includes a basement measuring approximately 14’ x 16’, offering additional usable space with built-in bunk beds and a large gun safe that will remain. Recent updates include a two-year-old HVAC system, new septic lines, new interior doors, a kitchen water filtration system, and a whole-house water softener. A detached two-car garage with a 2-car carport provides substantial storage and includes partial plumbing for a future bathroom. The home is serviced by rural water but also has a water well supplying the sprinkler system. Fully fenced with wire fencing and a gated entrance, this property is well suited for buyers seeking acreage, solid construction, and a quiet country lifestyle with thoughtful improvements already in place.
