About this home
Charming, four bedroom, three bath lovingly maintained home on just over 2 acres in The Plains. * This home has been thoughtfully cared for and improved throughout our ownership. We bought it as newlyweds, loved living here, and just recently outgrew it.

Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a warm, cozy layout. A covered porch, wood stove hearth and generator subpanel make the home practical, while the numerous flowers, maturing trees and ready vegetable garden give it a unique beauty.
