Listing description

Searching for rural living and space to grow? Nestled on approximately 1.1 acres in Union Township, this custom-built home presents a unique opportunity, featuring a 40' x 30' barn with a full loft, electric service, outdoor water access, along with a separate 22' x 12' carriage shed. While current township zoning requires a minimum of 2 acres for livestock, these versatile outbuildings offer endless possibilities for equipment storage, hobbies, workshop space, or other uses. This well-built 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home showcases the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that stand the test of time. The home's sturdy structure begins with steel beam construction, providing superior support and load-bearing capacity while contributing to exceptional strength and stability. Timeless character and charm continue throughout every room. The exterior features a combination of brick and wood siding, while the interior offers plaster walls and genuine hardwood flooring throughout. The cozy living room is highlighted by an impressive, nearly wall-length brick wood-burning fireplace. The functional kitchen includes a double sink, smooth-top range, abundant storage, and attractive upper display cabinetry featuring decorative translucent cabinet doors. Enjoy meals while taking in beautiful backyard views from the dining area. This split-level home also features a basement with convenient access to the oversized two-car side-entry garage. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a property that combines country living, quality construction, and exceptional outbuildings with endless potential. NOTE: Buyer is responsible for verifying permitted uses with Union Township. Current township zoning requires a minimum of 2 acres for livestock.
