True One-Level Living with No Interior or Exterior Steps
Step inside to an open floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Everything is on one level with no interior or exterior steps, while 9-foot ceilings and laminate hardwood flooring create a spacious, open feel. The split-bedroom design provides additional privacy, with the primary suite located away from the secondary bedrooms.
Just off the foyer is a flexible room that works well as a home office, additional living area or, if needed, a fourth bedroom. It has an adjoining full bath that also opens to the kitchen, giving both the room and bathroom added functionality.
Continue into the main living area where the kitchen, great room and large dining area are all open to one another. A fireplace anchors the great room, while the open layout keeps the kitchen and dining area connected for everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is centered around a large quartz island with plenty of room for cooking, serving and seating. Custom maple cabinetry provides generous storage, while double ovens accented with beautiful stonework add character to the space. Updated appliances complete the kitchen and remain with the home.
From the main living area, step directly onto the screened back porch for an easy transition to the outdoor living spaces.
The primary suite has its own private area of the house and includes two walk-in closets. Heated tile floors add comfort to the primary bath, along with a roll-in shower. The spacious laundry room is directly accessible from the primary suite, making the layout especially convenient.
Bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill bathroom that also includes a roll-in shower.
Storage is plentiful throughout the home with large closets and additional walk-in storage. Other features include upgraded door hardware, a metal roof, spray foam insulation and a whole-house water treatment system.
A Screened Porch You'll Actually Want to Use - This large screened porch is one of the features that really sets the home apart. With direct access from the main living area and a wood-burning fireplace, it feels like an extension of the home and provides a comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors throughout much of the year.
The porch overlooks the acreage, landscaping and mature trees, making it just as inviting for morning coffee as it is for dinner outside or an evening by the fireplace.
Just beyond the porch is a built-in fire pit and sitting area surrounded by beautiful landscaping and hardscaping. Natural stone retaining walls, decorative curbing and mature shade trees add to the setting, while an apple orchard brings another touch of country life to the property.
Separate Guest or In-Law Quarters
Having a separate place for guests or extended family can be difficult to find, especially when you also want acreage and a newer home. Here, the detached building includes a beautifully finished one-bedroom apartment along with a large garage/shop.
The apartment has its own HVAC system, custom hickory cabinetry, new appliances and a new water heater. The detached building has a metal roof and spray foam insulation, just like the main residence. Additional storage is located above the apartment.
The separate living space provides privacy from the main residence and flexibility for guest or in-law quarters, extended stays, a private office, or other residential needs.
All appliances convey with the property, including two sets of washers and dryers.
More Than Just Garage Space
If garage and workshop space are important, you have plenty of it here. The oversized attached two-car garage includes a workshop area, finished walls and trim, and 9-foot overhead doors.
The detached garage/shop also has finished walls and trim along with its own HVAC system, making it comfortable for year-round use as a workshop, vehicle or equipment storage, hobby space or additional storage.
There is a 220V electrical outlet in each garage, one in the attached garage and one in the detached garage. Each provides the electrical capacity for potential conversion to an EV charging connection or RV connection with the appropriate equipment and installation.
Extensive concrete driveways provide plenty of parking and room for an RV or camper.
Six Acres Ready for Horses and Outdoor Living
Walk beyond the home and you'll find approximately 6 acres with a nice mix of fenced pasture, mature trees and wooded areas.
The horse facilities are already here, including fenced perimeter and pasture areas and a two-stall barn with tack room, electricity and water. Riding and recreational trails wind through the property and are just as enjoyable for walking or riding a four-wheeler.
A creek runs through the wooded portion of the acreage, adding another peaceful element to the property and giving you even more to explore without leaving home.
A Few More Details Worth Knowing
Two septic systems serve the property and have exposed risers for easier access when maintenance or pumping is needed. There is also a buried propane tank. Some furniture, farm equipment and a John Deere Gator may be available for purchase separately.
There is NO HOA.

What the Seller Says About This Property
"“We were living in Gallatin when we began looking for a home that would give us separate living quarters for a family member. After finding very few options, we expanded our search into Robertson County and found exactly what we needed here. The home has been everything we hoped for and more. Since moving in, we have built a small barn, fenced the property for horses and created trails through the wooded area. We love the privacy, the surrounding farmland and the quieter way of life, while still being only minutes from downtown Springfield. We are sorry to have to leave and hope the next owners enjoy this property as much as we have.””
