About 218 5th Ave SE

Enjoy the generous space to create a scrumptious feast in this farmhouse kitchen. The substantial amount of cabinets will leave the resident chef in awe. For those serious grillers- you have easy access to the deck right off the kitchen. No more traipsing through the house with your grilled masterpiece. The deck overlooks an incredible outdoor space which is dubbed the "Stable Bar". Add your own flare and enjoy that backyard oasis. A half bath and laundry adjacent to the kitchen means there is no longer an excuse to fall behind on the laundry. The living room is generously sized for entertaining many or allowing space for bulky, large furniture. Upstairs you'll delight in the amount of bedrooms and space! Don't need five bedrooms you say? Convert one or more to a craft room, office or spare bedroom. The large media room at the end of the hall is the perfect upstairs sanctuary. Both the primary bedroom and media room ceilings are adorned with trey ceilings. A balcony off of the primary bedroom is the perfect spot to watch the sun rise or set. Lots of space and lots of possibilities await you here!
