At the heart of the home is a thoughtfully designed cook's kitchen featuring abundant workspace, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient office area-ideal for today's busy family. The main floor includes a bright living room, generous formal dining room, separate laundry room, full bathroom with shower, and a versatile den that can serve as a home office, hobby room, or main-floor bedroom thanks to its built-in Murphy bed.

The metal grain dryer bins can remain for the new owner's use, or the seller has already obtained a quote for their complete removal.

Come experience this remarkable property for yourself.
