Welcome home to this park-like 2.58 acre property with a charming vintage farmhouse, up for sale for the first time in over 100 years! Enjoy expansive views of surrounding farmland from the front porch of the the 1320 sq ft, 3 bed, 1.75 bath home. Inside, notice the original solid wood craftsman trim, doors, and solid hardwood floor, and imagine the possibilities when giving the walls a fresh coat of paint. Leave the carpet, or be daring and pull it up* to reveal more hardwood flooring that has been hidden for more than 50 years! The one-car garage and 26x40 ft metal pole barn, as well as the partially finished 950 sq ft dry basement to the house, provide plenty of covered work space and storage. Live worry free for the next few decades (est.) with the recently installed high-end metal roofing ('18 house, '19 garage). Take in the quiet of the country, while being a short 10 minute drive from the conveniences of Benton. Don't miss out on this once in a century opportunity! .
