Property Description
The curb appeal alone stops traffic. Solid brick pillar front porch, tuck-pointed and sharp, with mature landscaping that frames this home like it was meant to be here forever. Because it was. Original woodwork runs throughout, and the bones are as strong as they come. Everything that matters has been updated: new windows, 4-year-old roof, updated electric, and a new septic on the way. Inside, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Massive in scale, granite counters, and storage that goes well beyond what most homes can offer. Modern amenities woven into a space built for real family life. The main floor also delivers a bedroom, full bath, and a walk-in laundry room with additional storage that keeps everything organized and out of the way. Five more bedrooms and a second full bath wait upstairs, and the full basement adds serious square footage to grow into, finish, or make your own. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. The oversized 3-stall garage plus four outbuildings give you the kind of storage, workspace, and utility that acreage buyers spend years trying to find. All of it sitting on 5.6 acres of flat, beautiful Benton County land with open views that go on forever. Some homes are just houses. This one is a legacy.
