The open-concept dine-in country kitchen overlooks the back garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a spacious central hall with sitting area and a family bath with tub and shower. Since 2024, the property has benefited from substantial improvements, including a new double heated and insulated garage with its own heat pump and electrical meter, a renovated barn, paved driveway, 200-amp electrical upgrade, ducted heat pump, kitchen improvements with new cabinetry and Corian countertops, new deck and hot tub, fenced yard, stone patio and greenhouse. Basement spray foam and bathroom updates, new lighting, doors and numerous additional upgrades further enhance the home.
