Welcome to your peaceful countryside retreat! This charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on approximately 1 acre in an ideal setting just past the iconic Red Covered Bridge, offering the perfect blend of rural tranquility and convenient access to I-80, Route 26, and all the shopping and dining on the North end. Step inside to find a warm and inviting interior featuring beautiful hardwood floors reclaimed from a historic schoolhouse that once stood on the property-adding character and a unique story to this special home. The dining area is anchored by a classic Franklin stove, capable of heating the home efficiently and helping reduce propane costs. Enjoy the natural beauty year-round from the adorable sunroom, where you can relax and take in sweeping views of the serene surroundings. The home is truly move-in ready, with all appliances included and major updates already completed: roof (approx. 2023), central air (2023), furnace (2024), and a new living room bay window (2025). The full basement offers excellent potential with a partially finished layout, an additional shower, and a huge bonus room-perfect for a future rec room, family room, or hobby space. Outside, you'll appreciate the blacktop driveway, owned propane tank, and the sense of history marked by a commemorative plaque in the front yard. If you're looking for comfort, character, and a scenic location with modern updates already in place, this property is a must-see!
