This charming 3-bedroom bungalow has special touches throughout, stained glass, custom cabinetry, and a warmth that invites you in.

Lots of room for a garden and two garden sheds that can stash all those yard items out of the weather. And did you say you needed space for cars and storage? A two car garage is adjacent to the house and the 3 car garage (can be converted to a barn) sits a bit farther away, both are insulated and heated. The original hip roof barn hasn’t seen livestock for a few years and there are pastures waiting for a couple horses, maybe a 4-H steer or a few sheep. There is an excellent well that produces over 7.5 gpm and the level did not lower in the casing when being pumped for over 6 hours. The flow test was done in April of this year. Just imagine living in this quiet oasis away from hustle and bustle of everyday life. More details
