Bring your RV, boat, work equipment, and all the toys. With plenty of room to spread out, this property is ready to fit your lifestyle. Major updates are already complete, including a brand-new metal roof, new windows, new insulated siding with a lifetime warranty, and a 3-year-old tankless water heater. Inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen featuring new flooring, abundant cabinet space, and a large eat-in breakfast area. The oversized primary suite offers plenty of room to relax, along with a generous bathroom featuring double vanities, a step-in shower, and an impressive 6-foot Jacuzzi tub. The secondary bedrooms are also generously sized and share a full bath with a tub/shower combination. The finished basement adds even more living space with a large family or recreation room, a full bathroom, an additional spacious bedroom, and another garage/workshop area—perfect for guests, extended family, hobbies, or additional storage. Step outside and enjoy the newly screened-in porch with beautiful tongue-and-groove ceilings, leading to a massive 12x24 deck that's perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
