About this home

Charming farmhouse on 3 acres. Great potential for even more at this country home with an 800 sq. ft. cottage ready for your touch. Could easily be used for extended family or as rental property. Used as storage now but has a bathroom, bedroom, and small kitchen open to living area. The main house has a large den with beautiful fireplace. Seller is using living room as a fourth bedroom. Hall bathroom has been upgraded recently with very tasteful tile floors. The windows and heat and air are approximately 5 years old. Enjoy the covered front porch with wide open views. The 3 acres are fenced in and level for gardening and your animals. In addition to the cottage, are two storage buildings and a small workshop. The detached garage is now being used as a chicken coop. Enjoy this open space but yet convenient to shopping.
