Set on 6.37 acres, this classic Seneca farmhouse offers space, character, and endless potential for the right buyer ready to bring it back to life. Surrounded by a mix of tillable and non-tillable land, the setting delivers the privacy and functionality today's acreage buyers are looking for. The home features four bedrooms, including a main-floor bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom on the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms along with a spacious attic providing excellent storage or future expansion possibilities. The layout includes a large living room, formal dining room, and a generous eat-in kitchen, offering the bones for a warm and functional farmhouse design. A foyer, mudroom, and pantry add practical everyday convenience. Outside, the property truly shines for hobbyists, farmers, or anyone needing serious outbuilding space. A detached two-car garage is complemented by multiple outbuildings, including one with a concrete floor featuring an 18x49 heated bay with a 10x13 overhead door, leading into an additional 53x49 section with concrete floors and two large sliding doors (26x12 and 23x14). A second outbuilding measures 47x72 with a gravel floor, three doors, a subpanel, and 220 hookup-ideal for equipment, storage, or workshop use. A classic grain bin adds to the authentic farmstead appeal. This property is being sold as-is and will require updates and improvements, but the location, acreage, and infrastructure provide a rare opportunity to restore and customize a true farmhouse in a desirable school district. If you're looking for land, buildings, and the chance to create something special, this one is worth a closer look.
