As you enter the long newly paved driveway to this very private property, prepare to be wowed by the botanic garden nature of the almost 12 acres of paradise. The manicured grounds and gardens surround the beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home. Beautiful stained wide plank hardwood flooring enhances the main level. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace as the temperature drops. The sunroom features two walls of floor to ceiling windows as well as a vaulted ceiling and built in bookcases. This is the perfect room to enjoy both the bounty of flora and fauna that abounds on this property. The three sided screened in porch with tile flooring (with some views of Rug Lake) is located adjacent to the sunroom. Kitchen upgrades include new quartz counters, subway tile backsplash and a newdishwasher in 2022. The second level has 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The windows and plantation shutters on the second level were replaced in 2017. The upstairs bath was remodeled with a new toilet, tile flooring and sink in 2017. The owners have made many improvements over the last few years. Some include a new hot water heater (2016), new A/C (2024), new Leaf Guard gutters (2017), plant shed repair (2023), electrical upgrades (2017), repair of front stoop and railings, and concrete work for front walkway. The lower level is accessed via the 2 car garage, is unfinished and can be turned into a great recreation room, a guest suite or additional bedrooms. The laundry is on the lower level. The property features 3 additional outbuildings-a plant shed, a storage shed and a large pole barn that has been used recreationally for ping pong and parties. There is also a screened gazebo for enjoying the gorgeous gardens. A new pergola was added in 2016 and the enormous deck was replaced in 2016. Extensive landscaping thinned out some trees and created gardens to enjoy. There are pathways around the property with a large opening in the rear - perfect for bonfires or to host a wedding.
