The 2,066-square-foot main level is complemented by an equally expansive walk-out lower level with radiant in-floor heat served by its own dedicated water heater. Ready for your personal vision, this unfinished space offers endless possibilities for additional bedrooms, family room, recreation area, fitness room, or home theater. A completed full bath with jetted tub/shower combination, a nearly finished bonus room, walk-out patio access, and an included pool table provide an outstanding head start toward creating your ideal lower-level retreat. Outside, the property retains a piece of its agricultural heritage with the original farmstead milk house, while the impressive 40' x 56' machine shed with an insulated workshop offers exceptional space for equipment, hobbies, storage, or small business use.
