This charming home features a large wraparound front porch, Victorian architectural details, and a 2.5-car attached garage. Inside, two open-concept living areas sit on opposite sides of the kitchen for great flow, with one opening directly to the screened-in porch through beautiful french doors. The majority of the interior has been professionally painted, giving the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The kitchen offers a brand-new stainless steel farmhouse sink, an island with eating space, and appliances which are all included in the sale.

A heated, finished attic provides additional space, and the concrete floor basement-with tuckpointing completed in 2020-adds excellent storage. Outside, the property includes a corn crib, a 480 sq ft shed with water supply, and a 4,349 sq ft pole barn with a 29'x57' concrete floor section-ideal for a workshop, recreation, equipment, storage, or hobby farming. In 2008, the south section was updated with new lumber and metal siding. With open views in every direction and long-term ownership of 33+ years, this well-cared for property offers quality craftsmanship, good bones, and a serene rural setting ready for its next owners.
