Upstairs you'll find an additional bedroom and another full bathroom. With separate heating systems this space is ideal for extended family, multigenerational living, or potential rental income, subject to applicable township requirements and approvals. Additional features include a 3-car garage, unfinished walkout basement leading to a lower-level patio, propane heat, central air, private well, and septic. An annual HOA fee covers the tax and liability insurance of the private road. Enjoy a private, spacious setting while remaining conveniently located near St. Luke's Anderson Campus and Routes 33, 22, and 78.
