You can take the farmer off the farm but you cant take the farm out of the farmer. We retired from farming 10 years ago and moved to this mini farm on 8th street as a transition between the big farm and our new home in a subdivision. We have loved the mixture of a very large park like yard with lots of trees, an "Americana" style red wood barn, and extra outbuilding for our equipment, a couple of extra attached and detached sheds, a fenced in area for your children or pets, 3+ acres of timber and of course our large 2400sq' 3 bed 2.5 bathroom (very nicely updated) ranch home with an attached screened in porch to sit in and enjoy the view of the beatuful back yard, a large sun room for the cooler days to sit by the wood burning stove and still enjoy that same view of the back yard and woods, and also an attached 2 car garage with a large attached storage room complete with tons of built in shelves. You will really appreciate the hardwood floors through most of the home along with the custom built in shelves in the living room and sun room. We will also be leaving you with all of the kitchen appliances and the washer and dryer too. Call your favorite Realtor to schedule your appointment to view this home!
