Property Description
Your Woods & Water escape on Brown's Pond is ready for you. This spacious ranch sits on over 2 acres with 310 feet of waterfront, blending outdoor fun with a relaxed, modern vibe. A smooth blacktop driveway brings you into a private setting framed by mature trees, flowering plants, and raised garden beds, giving you a peaceful natural surrounding. Inside, the expansive living area is made for gatherings, with high ceilings, a striking stone gas fireplace fueled by natural gas, and new Andersen sliders that fill the room with light and showcase the views of the woods and water. The heart of the home is the expansive eat-in kitchen, featuring KraftMaid cabinetry, a large butcher block island with its own sink, and an oversized walk-in pantry that keeps everything organized and out of sight. It's the kind of kitchen where everyone ends up hanging out. This home is loaded with thoughtful updates: fresh paint throughout, full-house Generac generator, new well, complete and a custom wood
