Your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history on a mini-farm in Leo schools! Over two acres with a river view, shed with a new roof, fully functioning chicken coop on a slab with a new metal roof, peach trees and a grape orchard beautifully compliment the insulated barn with upgraded wiring, overhead door with enough parking for three vehicles, workshop to the left, sliding bay door on the east side, three-walled lean-to the length of the back, and a heated loft with new windows and a ceiling fan. Relax on the huge wrap around porch surrounded by established landscaping or the back patio with its wisteria-covered pergola. Enter your stately brick and cedar shake farmstead with its vinyl windows, upgraded electrical, and new metal roof to be greeted by then-and-now pictures that stay with the home. The main floor has two living spaces (one with a new wood burning fireplace and liner which has been cleaned annually since installation), a bonus room, two full bathrooms and laundry room (stainless steel front load washer and dryer on drawer stands stay), a fully updated, spacious eat-in kitchen featuring ceramic tile extending to the laundry room, new appliances which all stay, new fixtures, new farm sink and faucet, and custom soft close cabinets. The dry root cellar boasts a softener, new water heater, new high-efficiency furnace (and AC), and plenty of storage. The main floor master has its own outside entrance and separate water heater in the bathroom. Two more bedrooms complete the first floor. Upstairs you’ll find two additional, large bedrooms with original wide-plank hardwood floors and Spanish lace ceilings connected by an amazingly updated Jack & Jill bathroom with a pocket door, a large, tiled shower and updated cabinets. Three of four entrance doors have been upgraded; two have storm doors. Electrical ran underground from box to upgraded 200 AMP panel in home. 12" blow-in cellulose insulation added to attic and spray foam insulation added to root cellar. Ring security system included and the property is wired for invisible fence. Gas lines added and propane tank removed in 2020. City added water lines and fire hydrants to the area this year and city water will soon be available to the new owner. The care and forethought that went into updating this property is too extensive to list- full details available upon request. Like a fine, rare wine, this home has improved with age without sacrificing the features which make it so amazing.
