The approx. 1,584 sq. ft. rancher has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, refreshed with a documented upgrade list. The kitchen is fully modern, with new cabinetry, solid-wood hardware, stone countertops, and high-end appliances, ready for morning coffee with the clearing in view. A new wood stove warms the living room through winter. Two mini-split heat pumps condition the main living space and primary bedroom, and radiant floor heat main bathroom. Home & shop both received new roofs & gutters in 2025, and the home's electrical panel, wiring, insulation, drywall, paint in & out, trim, most windows & skylights, front door, hot-water tank have all been upgraded.
