This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home with a bonus room and an office, which could be converted into another bedroom or extra storage, measures in at 2028 square feet, sits on 0.58 acres, and is located just outside the Niota city limits. No restrictions, no HOA fees, just peaceful country living. You won't want to miss this well-maintained home with large windows that bring in natural light offering views of the surrounding countryside. This property features a circular driveway with trees, for an added layer of privacy, that allows for effortless entry and exit. Positioned just off the circular driveway, the covered front porch offers convenient access to the home and a natural gathering point for guests. As you enter the home, you'll be in the living room which is open, bright, and inviting the moment you step inside. Two large windows allow natural light to pour in throughout the day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. At the rear of the living room, a sliding glass door adds even more light while creating a seamless connection to the fully fenced backyard featuring a huge 20x20 deck and a hot tub (included). From the living room, the layout flows naturally into a dedicated dining area that opens to the kitchen. On the opposite side of the dining area, elegant double glass doors open into a private office or flex space with another large window for natural light. The kitchen has a large island with a breakfast bar, new cabinets with plenty of storage space, new countertops, new refrigerator (included), new dishwasher (included), and the original oven that still works great. Just off the kitchen, a hallway leads you toward the more private quarters of the home. Along the hall, you'll find a comfortable secondary bedroom on the left and a full bathroom conveniently positioned on the right, easily accessible for guests or family members. Just beyond, a dedicated storage area, formerly used for a washer and dryer, provides flexible space that could be used for additional storage, a utility area, or future customization. At the end of the hallway, the layout opens to two additional bedrooms. Another well-sized bedroom sits on the left, while the primary suite is on the right featuring its own ensuite half bath. Moving back through the kitchen toward the front portion of the home, you'll find a thoughtfully designed transition space that adds both function and flexibility. A dedicated mudroom serves the side entry, creating a practical drop zone for coats, shoes, and daily essentials, an especially valuable feature for busy households. This area also incorporates a small workspace and a separate laundry room. Stepping through the side entrance, you're welcomed into an enclosed bonus room filled with natural light from multiple windows. The abundance of sunlight gives the space an airy, inviting feel and makes it incredibly versatile. Whether used as a sunroom, hobby area, workout space, playroom, or additional living area, this bright and flexible room adds meaningful square footage and everyday usability to the home. The backyard is fully fenced with gates on each side of the home, offering security and peace of mind with added privacy. Along one side of the fenced yard, a substantial concrete pad is already in place that could be an excellent opportunity for a storage building, workshop, or even future customization to fit your needs. Please note that the two storage buildings currently on the concrete pad are not included.
