On the second floor the home has 4 bedrooms, full bath, and a 200+ square foot outdoor porch area. There is an unfinished cellar style partial basement. To enjoy those beautiful summer nights is a 900+ square foot terrace on the roof. Throughout the home are the beautiful oak hardwood floors and original woodworking. For additional outdoor enjoyment is a wrap-around porch on the front of the home and then in the backyard is a beautifully landscaped outdoor seating area and old milk house for outdoor storage. The barns on this farm are ready for you to bring your livestock and move right on in. The newest barn on the property is a 42' x 62' wood pole barn that has a finished and heated shop area, gravel floor storage area, indoor livestock cooler room, and a lean-to for additional outdoor storage. Right outside of this barn is a concrete pit for waste storage. The original to the farm is a 1919 two story barn that is 34' x 40'. On the main floor it has a concrete floor, livestock pens, outdoor feed bin, and outdoor concrete pad with waterier. Then on the second floor is a hay loft for all of your hay storage. For your vehicles you have an over-sized two car detached garage adjacent to the house. Then also there is the original corn crib on the property, so you can use it for additional equipment storage or convert to a chicken house. Farmsteads like this do not come up for sale often, and when they do you have to take the opportunity to buy it. "Sells to the highest bidder at or above the opening bid!"
