*Property Description: Are you challenged with finding a home that can comfortably accommodate a large family? Well, look no more, this is it! Cleverly thought out, this 5 bedroom, 2 bath home, is positioned on approximately 8.22 acres, about 5 minutes from the junior high & high schools. The brick and siding exterior offers fresh paint, a new roof, and new, energy star windows. Upstairs you'll discover 4 large bedrooms and an oversized bath with lots of storage and double sinks. The master bedroom, located downstairs off the living room, gives access to the oversized patio which is under roof, providing lots of space for outdoor living and entertaining. The covered front porch features 8' square cedar support posts which continue upward to the roofline, providing banister supports for the newly redone upstairs balcony, conveniently serving 2 of the upstairs bedrooms.

The living room of this home has a wood burning fireplace across one end wall, spans the width of the house, with the opposite end currently serving as a dining room, and yields access to the tastefully thought-out kitchen and second dining area, the ample utility room, complete with storage and built-in ironing board, and the double car garage, making it very conducive to unloading groceries. In the kitchen, you will find ceramic tile backsplashes, an electric cook top installed in the bar that separates the dining area from the kitchen, double wall ovens, and a built-in desk nook, perfect for a laptop. Under the stairway, neatly tucked away, you'll discover the roomy pantry.

The split system central air & heat system, along with the new energy star windows, and an abundance of ceiling fans will help keep your family comfortable.

New field wire fencing around the perimeter of the property, together with about an acre fronting the road fenced to match, complete with a drive through gate, adding security and creating a large yard, makes this property ready to utilize in a variety of ways. With a small barn and a small pond, you'll have plenty of room for horses, 4-H or FFA animal projects, 4 wheel trails, or exploring in the mostly wooded acreage.
