The benefits of easy access and abundant wildlife make the 9th filing of lower Crystal Lakes a highly-sought, desirable location. The welcoming 3-season front porch of this home leading to a cabin-like, open concept interior is just the beginning! In addition to the entire 2.44 fully-mitigated acres, this property provides safe viewing of wildlife from a covered back porch and fenced, nicely landscaped yard. This meticulously maintained 1948 sf ranch-style home has 3 bed/2 bath w/ 575 sf attached 2 car (drive-thru) garage and offers level home entry. The home boasts superior windows and building materials, (6-inch wall construction), and professionally-designed (like-new) updates throughout. The custom propane fireplace, newer furnace (2020), solar tubes & sky lights, newer metal roof, and more creates a solid, energy-efficient, and comfortable home for ALL-SEASONS. Walk into a huge, luxury shower after exploring the nearby private 3/4 mile forest trail, and embrace your own mountain paradise. The fire-resistant, maintenance-free exterior means less time working, more time enjoying. An over-insulated, HEATED, utility shop with two oversized doors offers 999 sq. ft. of vehicle, boat, camper, or utv storage and room to work on projects. The shop (built in 2020) exceeds county specs for insulation and has a fully-sided, fire-proof cement board exterior. A private well with triple filtration supplies clean water (tested) and the compliant sewer was built with an over-sized leach field. Don't miss out on this great opportunity. Previously under contract and appraised at $650,000 (5/2022). Previous contract fell through due to buyer, no fault of the Sellers or the property.
