Prepare to be impressed by this updated one level 1,700+ sqft home with a large shop building on a dead end road between Republic and Springfield. This home has been very much loved by the current family for the past 12 years as you'll see when you tour the property. There are a lot of highlights and features to go over here and we'll start with the setting. This home sits on a level 5 acre lot with a mix of open yard and mature woods in the back and is in a jewel of a location with easy access to HWY 60 just off HWY MM. The extra wide and long concrete driveway gives you plenty of parking options and the 30' x 40' shop is heated with a half bathroom, 2 overhead doors, plus a lean-to on the back of it. The brick front exterior is complemented by newer board & batten vinyl siding, newer thermopane windows, and an architectural shingle roof that's only about 2 years old.The back of the home is where you'll really enjoy spending your spring days and summer evenings. There's a newer, oversized composite deck that overlooks the woods behind the house. Stepping inside the home now and you'll love how the natural light just pours into this home from the large picture window overlooking the backyard. You'll see there's newer hand scraped hardwood floors throughout the living space and the kitchen which is truly the heart of this wonderful home. There's newer white shaker cabinets that reach the ceiling, stainless appliances and fixtures, and newer countertops. The living room features a gas fireplace and there's a great office space off the living room with a built in desk and cabinetry. Moving along to the rest of the main level, there's a non conforming bedroom/office room in the front of the house, the split floor plan features a large en suite bedroom with a roomy bathroom that has a double sink vanity, jetted tub and shower....
