This famous home is ready for a new owner. This home was featured on the front page of "Southern Living magazine in 1980's. The "Gambrel Cottage" started with a wonderful reputation of its style and floor plan. The 3.2 acre property sits nestled against woods behind it with birds and wild life for your viewing pleasure. The home has a horse barn that could be used for countless types of endeavors. The home has been totally redone inside with updated features yet, the floor plan and character remain. The updates include: luxury vinyl plank wood flooring, on demand tank-less propane water heater, hard duct sump pump and epoxy flooring in basement. Kitchen has been updated with quartz counter tops and new stainless appliances. New stamped concrete sidewalks, new heat pump ex-changer with oil back up, and new R-7 Windows. The entire home has been freshly painted inside with neutral colors. Home also boast things like: Generator, fruit trees (Mulberry, blueberries, and wild raspberries). Seller is offering $10,000 toward any upgrade the new buyer may deem important to them. (with acceptable offer and given at settlement to contractor of buyers choice) If you feel you would need more land there is also an additional 5 acre parcel that is for sale that borders this property at a price of $80,000 (MLS DEKT220020). This means that for under $500,000 you could have 8.2 acres of property with the possibility of subdividing, have horses, have a place to hunt or just have your own farm or ranch. There have been other upgrades done. Please call me for a full list. This property has the most pleasant feeling while you are there. (New exterior pictures are forth coming, as a new driveway and some fresh landscaping are in the works, new pictures will be completed once those improvements are complete)
