Filled with natural light and thoughtful updates throughout, this home has been well maintained and offers a warm, inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in.

Step outside and discover one of the standout features of this property -- a fully equipped 12x35 insulated storage building complete with new flooring, finished drywall, electricity, and a mini split unit for heating and cooling, just installed in May 2026 and backed by a 5-year warranty ready for the new owner to register. This versatile space is perfect for a home office, studio, workshop, or guest retreat. In addition, the property includes a 10x16 storage shed for extra storage and a recently built 8x12 chicken coop -- ideal for those looking to enjoy a little homesteading lifestyle. A large concrete slab provides additional parking or the perfect foundation for your next project. The metal roof was also upgraded in late 2025 with new screws and washers sealed for added durability and longevity. Located just outside city limits, this home offers peaceful country living while still being within 15 minutes of everything you need -- all surrounded by beautiful views. With its unrestricted setting, extensive updates, and versatile outdoor space, this property truly offers comfort, functionality, and endless possibilities.
