The expansive first floor offers an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area—perfect for gathering—featuring custom wood cabinetry, abundant natural light, and a cozy wood stove that adds both charm and energy efficiency. Excellent insulation throughout the home, in addition to the wood stove, helps keep fuel costs low.

An open loft area and two additional bedrooms complete the second floor, including one with an attached storage room that could double as a charming nursery or creative flex space.

A generous garage with an attached storage shed and fenced-in dog kennel add even more practicality. House roof is only 4 years old and the garage/shed roof is 5 years old.
