The primary suite takes up most of the second floor, with two walk-in closets and a main bath featuring a walk-in shower and double vanity. Laundry's up there too, and the washer/dryer are from 2023. The basement is fully finished with a bedroom, 3-piece bath, family room, and office - perfect for guests or an in-law suite. Outside, there's an insulated garage (detached) with a workshop corner, plus a garden shed, chicken coop, firepit, and horseshoe pit. The heat pump (2021), roof (2021), and septic (pumped Oct 2023) mean you won't be tackling big ticket items soon. With 10 parking spots, you've got room for toys and visitors. Priced at $839,900, it's in line with nearby listings (median $857K). If you want country living with modern updates, this is it.
