The beautifully landscaped yard is fairly low maintenance. The 24 x 32 garage is heated and has a concrete floor. All of this is great, but what makes it better is the newer furnace, new well pump, and that the septic tank's been pumped. Everything is top-notch in this home. Call the Listing Agent for the Special Features sheet. It's too much to list here. The appliances will stay and so could the furniture. It doesn't need a thing and is ready to move in! Don't wait!
