Featuring partial glass ceiling panels, this inviting space offers the possibility of becoming a delightful sunroom where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Inside, the country kitchen offers generous counter space, newer stainless steel appliances (approximately two years old), and a stove nook with additional space for spices, cookware, and everyday essentials. For those who enjoy home cooking, this kitchen has plenty of potential! The spacious formal dining room can easily accommodate an expandable table, making it a wonderful gathering place for holiday dinners and special occasions.

A second bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper level. The third bedroom offers a separate entrance off the main-level laundry room, providing an interesting and flexible layout. A partial basement offers additional storage space. Outside, the possibilities continue! A detached two-car garage and adjacent shed provide plenty of room for lawn equipment, tools, hobbies, and recreational toys. A hunting trailer will also remain with the property.
