Wonderful custom walkout ranch situated in the middle of almost 5 acres. This home is nicely finished throughout and includes a larger kitchen with lots of hickory cabinets, real hardwood floors in most of the main level, vaulted great room with wood burning fireplace, 1st floor laundry and nice master suite. The lower level is mostly finished with two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a good sized family room. There is a great 3-season room as you enter the home that overlooks the extensive landscaping and the back deck overlooks the timber and is a great place to watch for deer and turkeys. Very private setting off of paved road. All information obtained from Seller and public records.
