Property details

About 15479 Willis Rd

You have to check out this home that offers so much space inside and out. You can check off that list of must haves because this has it all. This country property sits on 7 acres and some of which can be rented out to farm to turn a profit. You will have 1875 sq.ft. of living space to entertain or enjoy yourself. There are two big porches in the front and back, both excellent to sit and watch the kiddos play or see deer and wildlife grazing in your yard. When the brisk night of autumn comes, enjoy getting warm beside the fire pit that is surrounded by two swings and roast some marshmallows or my favorite smores'. There are additional electrical poles if you have family or friends who come visit from out of town and they bring a camper. Easy coming and going with a circle drive and plenty of parking space which helps not getting blocked in. This home is a must see, to really grasp all it has to offer and memories waiting to be made.
