Property Description

Unique Two-Living-Quarter Property on Nearly 2 Acres — Country Privacy with Everyday Convenience Discover a truly unique opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living with the flexibility of two separate living quarters on nearly 2 acres. Nestled among surrounding farmland, this beautifully updated property offers privacy, space, and versatility while remaining just approximately 15 minutes from shopping, schools, and everyday conveniences. The main residence has been extensively remodeled and thoughtfully updated, offering approximately 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with a spacious, comfortable layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Although the home dates back to the mid-20th century, the interior has been transformed with modern updates and a beautiful finished appearance. At the heart of the home is an impressive gourmet-style kitchen featuring Corian countertops and sink, abundant work surfaces, and a massive center island that provides plenty of room for meal preparation, casual dining, and gathering with family and friends. An inviting gathering room creates a comfortable space to relax and entertain, while the oversized pantry/laundry area adds valuable storage and functionality. Additional features include updated flooring, fresh paint, newer HVAC, central electric heating and air conditioning, and a newer roof. The home combines the charm of a country setting with the comfort and convenience of modern updates. One of the property's most exceptional features is the approximately 2,448-square-foot enclosed pole building, complete with a full concrete floor. This expansive structure provides substantial room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, storage, workshop space, or business-related uses, subject to applicable zoning requirements. Even more valuable is the legally permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) incorporated into the building. The ADU offers a separate bedroom, full bathroom, sitting area, and kitchen, creating an ideal private space for extended family, visiting friends, guests, or other permitted living arrangements. A laundry area is located in the adjoining shop space. The shop itself features a large garage door along with additional side and front access, providing excellent flexibility for storage and projects. The building is set up for heat and includes additional finished space that can be used as an office or workspace. Outdoor space adds another dimension to this versatile property. A **736-square-foot lean-to and approximately 396-square-foot carport** provide additional covered space for vehicles, equipment, recreation, or storage. An outdoor gazebo creates a wonderful setting for entertaining, enjoying meals outdoors, or simply relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. The property also offers abundant parking, including an oversized detached garage/shop capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, along with additional covered parking and a spacious driveway. A storage shed provides even more room for tools and outdoor equipment. With well and septic, there are no monthly public water or sewer bills, offering an additional advantage for the property owner. There is no HOA, allowing you to enjoy the space and flexibility this exceptional property provides. Whether you're looking for a spacious primary residence with a private guest or family suite, a property where extended family and friends can comfortably share the same location, or a home with substantial workshop, garage, storage, and hobby space, this property offers a combination that is difficult to find. Peaceful farmland surroundings, modern updates, two distinct living quarters, nearly 2 acres, tremendous parking, an expansive shop/garage, and convenient access to shopping and schools — all in one truly versatile property.
