So much work has gone into reclaiming this charming farmhouse from the 1850s. A complete gut renovation has been done to the interior. New wiring, new plumbing, new floors, new, structural supports. .. the list goes on and on. The interior has been redone with a clean timeless aesthetic. Beautifully updated and modernized, while still preserving the classic farmhouse appeal. The 11 acres provides a manageable amount of property for keeping the farming tradition alive--or just having a few chickens and goats to provide eggs, milk and entertainment. The current owners intended to build a larger home in the back and have already put a second driveway in place as well as having a septic design done. Sell off a portion of the land or build and rent out another structure for added income. So many options available with this special home. Seller offering concession towards buyer's closing costs.
