Awesome family home with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, and 2 generously sized bedrooms and full bath upstairs. A wood-burning fireplace sets the tone in the family room, which opens to a large deck with a sauna. There is also a separate living room. Lots of space for entertaining! 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.
