This highly sought-after rural property is brimming with potential, just waiting for you to create your dream retreat! The home features newer siding, windows, and porches, setting the stage for your ideal transformation. The furnace and central air seem to be in good condition. The roof is approximately 20 years old. Inside, you'll find much of the stunning original woodwork still intact. The spacious layout includes a living room, formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen. On the first floor, you'll also discover a bedroom, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a back porch. Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms, with one already primed for conversion into a second bathroom. This property is being sold for cash only and AS IS. 2.47 acres has been surveyed and is being split off from the larger farm parcel. The sale will be contingent on a new parcel number being assigned. The property has been vacant for quite some time and was not winterized so it is expected that some plumbing will need to be replaced. There is an old well house and the owner requests that the power to the well not be turned on. The property has been in the same family for generations and the owner has not lived there for over 70 years. The owner does not remember an updated septic system ever being installed. No well or septic testing will be done. Buyers are expected to do their due diligence prior to writing an offer to determine what the expense will be to bring the well and septic systems up to current code.
