Home Details
Welcome to your very own Oasis on the Hill—where comfort meets craftsmanship in this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. From the moment you step onto the beautifully maintained lot, the quality of build and attention to detail are clear. A spacious covered porch invites you in, while the screened-in porch and backyard deck offer multiple spaces to relax and enjoy the serene, private surroundings. Inside, find hardwood floors that run throughout the home, offering a warm and cohesive feel. The living area features a gas fireplace perfect for cozy evenings, and the open floor plan flows easily into the kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen comes fully equipped—all appliances convey—(gas cooktop!) so moving in will be a breeze, not a project. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, complete with a private bathroom and ample closet space. The two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or a hobby room. An elevated crawl space provides extra storage or workshop potential for DIY projects—your tools will thank you. There's also a shed with a lean-to for yard essentials or that kayak you haven’t used since last summer. The landscaping here adds to the charm, but the star of the show remains the expansive outdoor space. Whether you're entertaining under the stars or just enjoying your morning coffee with the birds, the privacy and greenery make every day feel like a staycation. Close to town yet worlds away, this well-maintained gem delivers space and serenity in equal measure. NO DRIVE-BYS, private location. NO SIGN. Appointment required with minimum 1 hour notice, dogs on premises.
