Additional highlights include a full unfinished basement, an attached two-car garage, and two outdoor patios perfect for enjoying the peaceful setting. The rear patio is equipped with a removable awning, creating a comfortable outdoor retreat overlooking the natural surroundings. For hobbyists, business owners, contractors, or anyone in need of exceptional workspace and storage, the property also features an impressive 30′ x 40′ outbuilding with 10-foot ceilings and a dedicated office.
