Oversized 2 car garage, while not attached does have a covered walkway to the house providing coverage from the elements. The roomy eat-in kitchen has stainless appliances and updated countertops. The light filled living room has views of neighboring pasture as well as open yard.  3 bedrooms and full bath round out the main living area.  Hardwood floors give a warm and cozy vibe. Walk out basement has a nicely finished family room with wood stove overlooking the back yard.  Laundry room, 1/2 bath and a bonus room finish off this very clean and dry basement.  Outbuildings include a pool house for storing all the pool supplies for the above ground pool and you might be able to find a place for a hen or two.  Well-maintained, manageable in size make this the perfect home for most anyone.  Please call for a showing today!
