The extra-deep 2+ car garage was completely reconstructed with Wick Steel in 2026, offering excellent space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or storage. The 5.6-acre property also features additional outbuildings, a creek flowing toward the back of the property, abundant berry bushes, and multiple walking paths to explore the grounds.
