Property Description

Charming and Unique Brick Home on 5.35 Acres with Creek Views Built in approximately 1965, this one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers the potential to add a third bedroom and is full of character and charm. Originally constructed as a brick pentagon ranch home, it has been thoughtfully expanded with square additions, creating unique and inviting angles throughout the property. Completely remodeled in 2020 and 2021, with additional projects completed every year since, this home blends modern updates with historic charm. The heart of the home is the beautifully remodeled kitchen, completed in 2020. It features hickory cabinets, a large custom island with seating, and new appliances. The kitchen is centered around a wood-burning stove with a blower and thermostat, providing cozy supplemental heat throughout the home. Above the stove is a stunning custom live-edge mantel, adding a rustic touch. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious dining area, perfect for gatherings. This space could also be divided to create an additional bedroom if desired. The primary bedroom is large and inviting, with its own private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower. The second bedroom is located just off the kitchen, conveniently close to the second full bathroom on the main level. A third full bathroom is located in the basement, which offers potential for additional living or sleeping space with a few finishing touches. The highlight of the home is the expansive Great Room, offering breathtaking views of the winding Big Indian Creek. During a recent visit, two bald eagles were spotted soaring over the water-a true testament to the natural beauty surrounding this property. The Great Room includes multiple gathering spaces, a dining area, a custom bar, a TV area, an additional wood stove, and a supplemental heater. It's a space you must see to fully appreciate! The 5.35-acre property provides plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. It includes a winding creek, a small pond, and a mix of thick natural timber and managed areas. The exterior also features a country-style fence perfect for pets, livestock, or children, as well as a garden shed with electricity. A newly built 36' x 40' container barn with a 12' x 12' overhead door offers versatile and economical storage or workspace. Additional updates include a roof that is less than 10 years old, 2 recently constructed decks, steps down to creek area, 100-amp service, and freshly cleaned ductwork in 2024. The furnace, installed in 2014, sees minimal use thanks to the wood stoves that efficiently heat the home. Lastly, there's even a chicken coop with laying chickens that can be included with the sale-fresh eggs right at your doorstep! This is truly one of the most charming and unique homes you'll ever step into. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history with modern updates and incredible natural surroundings!
