Pull up the driveway and the noise of everywhere else just drops away. This is the kind of home where morning coffee happens on the porch, kids and dogs have real room to run, and the nearest neighbor isn't sharing your fence line. A 2023 Franklin County Parade of Homes Gold Winner, this modern farmhouse sits on 2.6 landscaped acres with crisp board-and-batten exterior, wood shutters, covered front porch, and 3-car side-entry garage. Built custom just three years ago, it lives like a ranch — wide, open, and easy — with 4,017 square feet spread across 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, & a bonus room with a wet bar so there's a spot for everyone and a door to close when you need it. Inside, the finishes do the talking: thoughtful details, quality materials, and a layout that flows for both a busy weeknight and a house full of people. Set up an office that actually feels like one, an upstairs workout room, a homestead garden: 2.6 acres gives you options most homes in this price range can't. It's move-up space without the fixer-up list, on land that's genuinely yours. If you passed on this one before, take a second look. It's ready when you are.
