The Details

Home Looking for Owner - Step into a rural retreat at this countryside home in Howard! Just a few miles away from hiking, fishing, and boating at Bald Eagle State Park and perfect for living in and near nature. You'll love this spacious ranch home with a full basement with canning kitchen and storage, both well & spring water access, separate barn that is half workshop and and half home for animals like the chickens, pigs, and cow that live there now. Also outside is an acre of land including a swimming pool and spacious deck that is the perfect spot for a grill & outdoor furniture to make indoor/outdoor dining a breeze in the summers. Entering this one level home from the back deck brings you into the kitchen & dining space featuring a built in breakfast bar, charming brick backsplash, and a ton of storage in the solid wood cabinetry. Adjacent to this is a family room that has access to another deck overlooking the front yard. The current owners have this space fenced off for their dogs to have a space to run around in. Open to the family room is a recreation room - a sprawling space with endless possibilities - from game room to playroom, a deluxe home office, or maybe the ultimate hobby room. This rec space also has a third and final deck that is covered for rainy days. Back inside the primary bedroom and attached bathroom are just off of this space which allows for extra privacy from the rest of the bedrooms on the opposite side of the home. Down the hall, you'll find 3 bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom with dual sinks and main floor laundry. The unfinished basement is another space filled with possibility and potential. The 2nd kitchen and prep space can be used for canning, and the additional cellar storage is ideal for keeping everything safely stored for the winter. Access to the 2-car garage is also here along with a wood fired furnace, which the current owners use as their primary heat source with an oil furnace as the backup, allowing for lower utility costs in the winter. Last, if you are looking for more acreage, head just down the road to 159 Nyman Lane, an additional 2.12 acres and a 72' x 32' pole barn that also come with this home. That additional space is ideal for storing boats, RVs, ATVs, and farm equipment. Make sure you check it out when you schedule showings at this property!
