Privately situated southwest of Townsend on 1.57 acres, this charming 1989 ranch is set well back from the road off a lengthy driveway, creating a peaceful and private approach.

The kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, recessed lighting, tile flooring, and a dining area with a wood burning stove. The generously sized living room, which could also serve as a dining area, is positioned between the kitchen and Great Room and features bamboo flooring. The spacious Great Room offers bamboo flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and windows overlooking the surrounding natural setting.The primary bedroom is privately positioned at the opposite end of the home and features a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, two generous closets, new carpeting, and windows overlooking the outdoors. The primary bath includes a vaulted ceiling, jetted tub with tile surround, two granite-topped vanities, recessed lighting, and tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms, both with new carpeting, share a full bath with newer vanity, tiled flooring, and tiled shower. Outside, two oversized detached garages provide exceptional flexibility for car enthusiasts, equipment or boat storage, hobbies, or workshop space. Two decks—one at the front and another at the side—offer inviting spaces for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
