Built in an era when craftsmanship mattered, this one-owner solid red sandstone ranch home offers the kind of quality, privacy, and setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Situated on 5+ acres in a peaceful rural country setting, this property is the perfect opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the freedom, space, and tranquility that only country living can provide. Surrounded by nature with woods adjoining the side and rear boundaries, you will enjoy year-round visits from deer, turkey, and abundant wildlife right from your own backyard. Relax on the covered front porch with your morning coffee while listening to the birds sing and taking in the serene surroundings. The home itself was built incredibly sturdy and features convenient one-level living with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Inside, you will find new vinyl plank flooring, a large living room with an impressive exposed stone wall, built-in shelving, a wood mantel, and a dedicated wood storage area for use with the Baker wood stove. The home also offers hot water oil heat with two oil tanks, central air conditioning, and an oversized attached 2-car garage complete with a generator hook-up. A full unfinished walk-out basement provides tremendous storage space and easy access to the backyard. In addition to the attached garage, the property includes a heated detached workshop/garage with electric, making it perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, woodworking, equipment storage, or anyone needing additional workspace. Outdoors, the property features mature trees that have not been timbered since 1975, a large front yard, a wishing well, an underground hillside root cellar that houses the well, ample gardening space, and even a traditional backyard clothesline for those looking to get back to basics and enjoy a simpler lifestyle. This home has so much to offer and simply awaits cosmetic updates to modernize it to today’s tastes. What an incredible opportunity to own your own private country retreat with acreage, garages, nature, and room to breathe — all without the restrictions of a homeowners association.
