There are plenty of homes with updates and plenty of homes with acreage—but very few that combine both this seamlessly. Set on two gorgeous, usable acres surrounded by mature trees, wildlife, and peaceful country views, this fully renovated home offers the privacy and space you've always wanted with the modern finishes and mechanical updates today's buyers expect. Over the past 2-3 years, the home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom in over $150k of upgrades, creating a truly move-in-ready property where nearly every major project has already been completed. Step inside to an open, inviting main level where nearly every surface has been transformed. The remodeled kitchen showcases over $16,000 in cabinetry and quartz countertop upgrades, complemented by high grade LG stainless steel appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and a thoughtfully redesigned layout that opens beautifully to the living spaces after removing a dividing wall and expanding the dining area. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, updated lighting, and beautifully renovated bathrooms with custom tile walk-in showers create a clean, timeless feel throughout. The improvements extend far beyond what you can see. The floor plan was thoughtfully reimagined to create a spacious primary suite with a private ensuite bath, an additional bedroom and finished family room were added to the lower level, and substantial investments were made in the home's infrastructure—including a $10,000 high-efficiency furnace, brand new central air conditioning, new water heater, reverse osmosis system, whole-home sediment filtration, pressure tank, updated electrical, and a brand new septic mound system in June of 2024. It's the kind of renovation that gives buyers confidence because both the cosmetic finishes and the behind-the-scenes systems have already been addressed. Outside is where this property truly shines. The two-acre lot offers endless opportunities to garden, play, host gatherings, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of your own backyard. Spend mornings on the new deck with a cup of coffee, evenings watching deer wander through the property, and weekends enjoying the kind of space and privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. A freshly painted exterior, new front and patio doors, oversized 12x20 storage shed, updated garage door, brand new and fully compliant septic system and expansive yard complete this incredible setting. Located less than a mile from Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area and just minutes from Interstate 35, you'll enjoy the serenity of country living without sacrificing convenience. Shopping, dining, and everyday essentials are all just a short drive away, making this an opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. Beautifully updated. Perfectly peaceful. And ready for you to simply move in and enjoy.
