Description

Rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained brick ranch on 7.13 acres right on the edge of town—within city limits yet offering the peace, privacy, and natural beauty of country living. Approximately 4.3 acres are enrolled in Forest Reserve, creating a scenic backdrop of mature timber and open green space to enjoy year-round. Inside, the home offers a spacious, thoughtfully designed layout filled with natural light. The bright kitchen provides abundant cabinet space and flows into a dining area and charming sitting nook wrapped in windows that showcase picturesque views of the yard and timber. Beautiful hardwood floors extend through much of the main level. The inviting living room features a fireplace with electric insert, while French doors open to an expansive family room surrounded in warm wood tones, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and a wall of windows for amazing views—an ideal space for gatherings or quiet relaxation. You’ll also find two comfortable bedrooms, each with built-in storage, a bath with a large shower plus a convenient half bath off the kitchen for everyday ease. The main floor laundry room/office could easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom if needed. The partial basement with exterior access is unfinished, yet mechanical systems are conveniently housed in a closet in the attached garage. Outdoors, this property truly shines. Enjoy mature landscaping, a welcoming circle drive, and both front and back patios perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. In addition to the attached garage, there are two storage sheds and a detached garage that is insulated, has a concrete floor and loft space—ideal for hobbies, vehicles or extra storage. If you’ve been dreaming of space to spread out without leaving town, this exceptional property delivers the best of both worlds. Unique opportunities like this don’t come along often, making it a truly special place to call home.
