There is room to let your ducks run free if you want! The main floor consists of a nicely updated kitchen, featuring alder cabinets covered with granite countertops and newer stainless appliances. There is formal dining for when you want to feed the masses. The living room is awesome and a great retreat from the action or a hard day at work. The view out the windows is amazing! There are 2 main floor bedrooms that both have decent closets and a main floor 3/4 bathroom that is super clean and tidy. Downstairs you will find a primary bedroom suite with a private 3/4 bathroom and a laundry with newer front loading washer and dryer. There is a large utility room with a chimney that could be hooked up to a wood burning fireplace and provides potential expansion as a sitting room, game room, or other purpose. This used to be a laundry room and the washer/dryer hookups still remain along with the basin sink. For those who like to tinker, we have you covered too. There is a car mechanic's dream 18x23' heated, insulated and air conditioned shop with a lift and concrete slab. But wait, there is also a 19x13' heated garage that is outfitted with a lean-to area for various equipment or storage. Both garages are heated with natural gas hot-dog ceiling mount heaters. Outside you will find tons of parking and multiple road access to your space. You need to see it to believe it and understand what I am saying. Other features are a couple of sheds for storage and a really good smelling smoke house that makes you hungry just by opening the door. This home has the best of both worlds, you have city water and a private mound system, not to mention city gas! This is like living in the country in the city. Hot tub is negotiable. You really need to come see this home and unique location!
