Brick home offering almost 2,100 square feet of interior space on approximately 1.78 acres in a quiet, private rural setting with no immediate neighbors. Zoned AG-RR (Rural Residential Agriculture), this property presents a compelling opportunity for investors or buyers seeking a renovation project with land, scale, and long-term flexibility. Originally constructed in 1955, the home features three bedrooms and one bathroom, with layout potential to add a second bath. Several original elements remain, including hardwood floors, heart-pine paneling in select rooms, vintage bath details, French doors, and a wood-burning fireplace, offering a strong starting point for restoration or modernization. The floor plan includes a large kitchen and an oversized, separate-yet-connected laundry and storage room, creating functional space that can be reworked to suit a variety of renovation visions. A two-car garage, circular driveway, and multiple exterior buildings add utility and flexibility for storage, workshop use, or future projects. The property also benefits from a newer roof (2022) - an important capital improvement already in place! The surrounding acreage provides room to breathe and enhances the sense of separation and privacy, making this an appealing option for buyers looking to create a personal retreat, income-producing renovation, or long-term rural homestead. Utilities are currently off and may not be activated for inspections. Property is served by septic tank(s), with water source unknown and possibly well. Due to the nature of the estate, sellers have limited knowledge of property conditions. Property is being sold AS-IS/WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. No repairs will be made. Buyer to verify all information and suitability for intended use.
