Description

Affordable, quality built 1 1/2 storey house on 5 acres near Puntchesakut Lake 20 minutes west of town. Beautiful south facing home is super energy efficient and has in-floor heat from an exterior wood boiler and an electric furnace for back-up. Open floor plan has 2 bedrooms on the main and a prime bedroom and study upstairs. The full basement has all the utility hook-ups etc and is a blank canvas if you need another family room etc. The land is gently sloped and has had some spaces cleared for a future shop and pasture. A new 2nd driveway has been put in to allow easier RV/Truck access. Raised bed gardens are producing nicely. Well is a good producer says the vendor. Great value here! (id:63159)
