Where Country Comfort Meets Endless Possibilities — Your 5-Acre Retreat Awaits. Imagine waking up each morning to the soft rustle of trees and the gentle hum of nature just beyond your window. The sun filters through the curtains as you make your way across warm wood floors to the kitchen, where the coffee brews. Welcome home to your own peaceful retreat—where the pace is slower, the air is fresher, and life feels a little more grounded. This solid brick rancher sits proudly on 5 beautiful acres, offering a sense of space and freedom that’s hard to find. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, there’s room to grow, gather, and simply enjoy. In the heart of the home, the living room invites you to relax beside the striking stone fireplace, while the separate dining room is ready for home-cooked meals and holiday memories. The eat-in kitchen offers a casual spot to chat over breakfast, and the enclosed rear porch becomes your favorite place to sip sweet tea and watch the seasons change. Downstairs, the lower-level family room with a wood-burning stove sets the perfect scene for cozy movie nights or Sunday afternoons with a good book. Outside, the detached 2-car garage with a workshop and additional machine shed gives you space to tinker, build, or store your toys and tools. This property isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle. There’s room for gardens, nature walks, and evening bonfires under the stars.
