Can’t make it? Keep reading… because there’s a lot about this farmhouse that just doesn’t show up in listing photos.. 👇
This is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home on 2 acres in DeWitt Schools with a pond, mature fruit trees, wraparound porch, four-seasons room and a 30’ x 40’ barn with finished space upstairs.
The barn has two finished bonus rooms with insulation and mini-splits for heating and A/C. We used one as an office and the other for storage. There’s also additional unfinished storage space. Basically, a finished basement on top of your garage.
And the garage is BIG. We’ve had three vehicles, a zero-turn, tools, toys, baby gear, two freezers and plenty of other “stuff” in there, with room for more.
The kitchen has double pantries, soft-close drawers and stainless steel LG Profile and Bosch appliances. There is genuinely a place for everything.
The four-season room overlooks the pond and fields and has new flooring, a mini-split and new french door. It’s one of our favorite places to sit and watch the ducks and other wildlife that come through to visit our pond.
Since 2021, we’ve put over $100,000 into improvements, including the roofs on the house and barn, furnace, A/C, natural gas, tankless water heater, Generac whole-home generator, septic drainfield, water systems and appliances.
The list is extensive, but the peace of mind is priceless.
There are a few cosmetic dents and scratches because we lived here. Three kids grew up here. We made memories here. We chose to take care of the big, expensive homeowner projects and leave the smaller cosmetic choices for the next owner. We are even willing to consider offering concessions so the new homeowners can make the cosmetic changes that best fit their vision.
And yes, I’m much more “forest witch” than “HOA president.” 😂 My husband mostly just likes to mow the two acres with the zero-turn.
You get two peaceful acres while still having Costco, Meijer, Shipt, restaurant delivery and 1.2 Gbps internet through WOW!.
If you’ve been watching this one online, come see it in person. The pictures don’t tell the whole story.
🏡 OPEN HOUSE TODAY | 5–7 PM
Can’t make it? Private showings are available.
And yes…there is a squeegee in one of the photographer’s pictures. 😳😂 I had FINALLY finished cleaning. Apparently, the squeegee had other plans.
Call me and come see why I think this house is so wonderful.
