Welcome to your own slice of country paradise, right on the edge of a small town. Set on 1.14 acres, this inviting two-story home offers plenty of space, comfort, and flexibility. A welcoming foyer opens to the bright living room with vaulted ceilings, beautiful updated flooring, and a stone fireplace. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry, a charming breakfast nook, and ample space to cook and gather. The main-floor Master Suite is a peaceful retreat with a private bath featuring heated floors and a generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms with walk-in closets and a large bonus room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, playroom, or home gym. The main-level office or den can also be used as a fifth bedroom. Outside, the expansive wraparound porch is truly a standout, complete with a built-in waterfall and stone fireplace. There's plenty of room for a garden, chickens, or a future pole barn-country living with in-town convenience and the benefit of the Reed Custer school district. Recent updates, including a new roof (2024), HVAC system (2020), and beautiful updated flooring on the main level, mean you can move in with peace of mind. If you've been searching for a place that feels like home the moment you arrive, this one is ready to welcome you!
