If you've been dreaming of a brand-new, high-efficiency home without the price tag of new construction, this is the one you've been waiting for! Completely transformed by a licensed contractor using high-end materials, quality craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail, this stunning home offers the peace of mind and modern finishes today's buyers are searching for.
Step inside to an inviting open-concept floor plan featuring a spacious kitchen with a large island, brand-new soft-close cabinetry, beautiful Quartz countertops, and a full suite of new stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. The home offers 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet, along with 2½ beautifully updated bathrooms featuring stylish tile surrounds, Onyx Countertops and three separate showers and one tub.
Nearly every aspect of this home has been upgraded, including new windows, plumbing, electrical wiring, light fixtures, doors, flooring, trim, water heater, water softener, concrete driveway, sidewalks, front porch, and back deck. The home also features main-level laundry and an energy-efficient dual heating and cooling system, with a brand-new upper-level unit providing exceptional comfort year-round.
Outside, you'll appreciate the oversized double attached garage, complete with insulated and sheet rocked walls, garage door openers, and the potential to be heated with ceiling insulation.
Additional features include a newer roof (approximately 5–6 years old), durable siding, 100-amp electrical service, great backyard, and an underground sump pump system.
Nestled on a quiet dead-end street, this property offers the best of small-town living with peaceful views of neighboring corn and bean fields. Enjoy nearby fishing, golf courses, and excellent dining, all just minutes away in the surrounding communities.
Homes with this level of quality, craftsmanship, and extensive renovations rarely become available. You truly have to see this incredible home in person to appreciate everything it has to offer!
