All three bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with timeless white subway tile, matte-black fixtures, and contemporary vanities. A charming private office with built-in bookshelves offers a quiet workspace. The approximately 1,300-square-foot finished walkout basement features a second fireplace, spacious guest accommodations, and a beautifully updated bathroom with a double-sink vanity and glass-enclosed shower. An oversized laundry room with a utility sink, cabinetry, and abundant storage adds everyday convenience. Additional practical features include a sump pump, Ring system, security system infrastructure, and cable-ready connections.
A scenic driveway winds through mature trees, open lawns, farmland, and peaceful woodland. Newly updated landscaping enhances the property's natural beauty and inviting outdoor spaces. The expansive brick patio is perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or cozy evenings around the fire pit. Approximately 12.24 acres of managed timber provide a beautiful natural backdrop and potential firewood, subject to applicable restrictions. Two charming cabins nestled among the trees feature rustic wood exteriors, green metal roofs, and cozy interiors furnished with bunk beds, creating inviting spaces for guests to relax and enjoy the peaceful woodland surroundings.
The 33.21 acres include approximately 17.74 acres of currently leased agricultural land, 12.24 acres of timber, and 3.23 acres surrounding the residence. The agricultural lease provides an existing source of income, while the property's successful history as a five-star-rated Airbnb vacation rental offers additional investment potential.
