The work has already been done for you here at this home set on almost 5 private acres in the Stillwater School District! New siding, roofing, and gutters on both house and detached garage leave the exterior settled for years, freeing you to wander among the apple trees, follow the mowed path along the property's edge, or stargaze far from the city lights. Mature trees frame the entrance and perimeter, while open lawn invites play, gardening, winter light, and glorious sunrises and sunsets.The interior is far from your typical split entry. A spacious foyer leads to an open upper level brimming with natural light. The kitchen, refreshed within five years, pairs new cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless appliances with a large island left free of sink and range, with room for baking, projects, and breakfast bar seating. The living room centers on a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, the dining area opens to a deck across the full back of the home, and a sunroom with its own gas stove welcomes chilly days. New flooring and iron railings top it off, and the whole space feels warm yet modern, almost Scandinavian.Three bedrooms sit on this level, including a private primary suite with ¾ bath, plus another full bath. Below, the walkout lower level has a family room with a full brick wall featuring the wood-burning fireplace, a fourth bedroom with new carpet, a newly updated ¾ bath, a wet bar, and storage that doubles as a storm shelter. Two garages, one with epoxy floors, and a circular drive complete the picture, with the cities an easy drive away. This is the country setting you've been waiting for, without the stress of planning updates.
