Description
Set within a coveted sunny microclimate, this enchanting 1.89-acre homestead offers the kind of setting buyers dream about. Gated and fully fenced, the property provides a true sense of privacy and retreat. The newly remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is warm, inviting, and filled with natural light. The kitchen features beautiful wood cabinetry paired with stainless steel appliances, creating a space that feels both functional and timeless. A cozy woodstove anchors the living area, complemented by nature-inspired elements including rich wood tones and slate accents that bring warmth and texture throughout the home. An energy-efficient forced-air heating system adds comfort and convenience year-round, while a dedicated laundry room with utility sink adds everyday practicality. Thoughtful
Supplements: updates blend comfort and simplicity, allowing the surrounding landscape to take center stage. Outside, the property embraces a genuine homestead lifestyle. Fruit trees abound, a deer-fenced garden area invites you to grow your own food, and a chicken coop with run is ready for your feathered companions. Just beyond the back deck, Little Palmer Creek winds gently behind the home, creating a peaceful, storybook backdrop. A sturdy, artsy bridge provides access across the creek to a stretch of usable AG land. The property is cross-fenced for livestock, offering flexibility for animals, projects, or simply enjoying wide open space--an ideal canvas for your four-legged friends. A detached, finished two-car garage/shop is accessible from the laundry room and gated on both sides so you have privacy and security moving from the garage to the home. The garage/shop adds tremendous versatility, perfect for hobbies, creative pursuits, storage, or workspace. A rare combination of sunshine, privacy, beauty, and possibility.
