Far from your standard raised ranch, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Howell home offers an unexpectedly spacious, open-concept design on 4.26 acres with a 24' x 36' pole barn. A thoughtfully designed 2007 addition added more than 800 SF of finished living space across the main and walkout lower levels, transforming the traditional floor plan into generous spaces for gathering, entertaining and everyday living. At the heart of the home is a completely remodeled kitchen (2023) featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, newer appliances and abundant cabinetry with convenient built-in outlets. An impressive 8' entry door, Andersen windows, LED lighting and solar tubes bringing natural light into the kitchen and remodeled main bath (2018) reflect the quality and thoughtful improvements found throughout. The walkout lower level expands your options for recreation, entertaining, home office, fitness or guest space. Outside, enjoy 4.26 acres from the rebuilt deck (2026), while the 24' x 36' pole barn with power, lighting and workshop area is ready for projects, hobbies, equipment and recreational toys. An attached lean-to adds protected outdoor storage. Additional features include a new well pump and piping (2026), generator transfer switch, security camera, motion driveway lighting, A/C and hot water baseboard heat. If you've been searching for a Howell home with acreage, a pole barn, updated kitchen and flexible living space, don't let the words "raised ranch" fool you--this one is anything but standard. Schedule your showing and experience the difference in person.
