Public Remarks: Priced to reflect renovation work needed. Something old has soul. Something with 4,100 sqft and 2.36 acres has potential. This wraparound-porch farmhouse is the kind of place you slow down for. Fields out every window, quiet that actually sticks, and room to breathe in every direction. It's not perfect. It needs your vision. Picture mornings on the wraparound porch with countryside views, evenings unwinding in the 24x30 screened patio, and winters kept warm by a wood-burning HeatMaster system that slashes utility bills. Five bedrooms, 10-ft ceilings, ornate wood trim, pocket doors, two laundry rooms, a main-floor primary suite with double closets, and a kitchen built for real cooking and entertaining with tons of space. Multiple HVAC systems. Two outbuildings. Buried water access with a separate septic ready for a future garage or build.All on 2.36 private acres in Shelby County, minutes from Shelbyville and Eminence. This one rewards the buyer who sees what it can become. Schedule your private showing today.
