Live amid 27 acres in updated four-bedroom home in Shorter | REAL ESTATE

Say so long to the city every day while living amid 27 acres of woods and fields in an updated four-bedroom home for sale in Shorter. Covered front and back porches will help homeowners soak in views of the countryside and the sound of a nearby creek. Shorter is located 15 minutes east of EastChase just off Interstate 85.

“Live just 15 minutes from EastChase and 25 minutes from Auburn in a quiet area with a slower pace,” Realtor Lisa Lynn said. “Acres of farmland and crops surround the town which has a post office, fire department and town hall center.”

Shorter also includes a Dollar General Market store with produce and cold items, a McDonalds, Subway, Popeyes, and several gas stations, Lynn said.

If you get tired of the woods, Lake Martin is about 20 minutes away. Or all the fun of a college town can be enjoyed after a short 25-minute trip to Auburn.

But you may not want to leave Shorter, Lynn said.

“The home is a country dream,” Lynn said, adding that a new HVAC system and newly-installed roof are part of the upgrades to the modern brick home.

The three-bath design at 15669 Highway 80 provides more than 2,500 square feet of living space. The home’s many features include a beautiful enclosed back porch which overlooks the property. The home was built in 1997.

“Sit in your glassed sunroom and watch nature in the woods and listen to the quiet sounds of your creek flowing,” Lynn said.

Inside, the huge country kitchen has a wet bar, stainless appliances, work island and an abundance of cabinets. The lighting, paint colors and many windows create a bright atmosphere in the kitchen.

A laundry room off the kitchen includes a sink. The kitchen opens to the great room. The huge master suite includes his and her vanities, a soaking tub, a separate tile shower, and walk-in closet. The design also includes a fireplace.

Outside, a 45 foot by 60-foot barn can help service the cattle or horses. More than 27 acres offer opportunities for outdoor adventures which will make memories for decades.

Sprinkler systems in the front and back yards feed off a well and will help keep the lawns lush.

“You will never want to leave the well-loved home!” Lynn said. The property is for sale for $474,900.
