Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home. Even the utility spaces were designed with function in mind. The laundry room doubles as a mudroom and includes a utility sink, additional cabinetry and counter space, washer, dryer, and an additional refrigerator. Permanent stairs lead to a massive floored attic, offering an incredible amount of storage along with exciting potential for future finished living space. The HVAC was also redone in 2026, adding an important recent improvement to the home. Outside is where the country setting really shines. Choose your favorite spot to enjoy the fresh air with front, back, and side porches overlooking the property. The partially fenced backyard is dotted with fruit trees and includes a galvanized stock tank pool with its own pump for cooling off on warm summer days. Two powered conex containers offer additional storage or workspace, while an 80-amp RV power outlet adds even more versatility to the property.
