Home built in 1850 with tons of character, but modern for your family. Not your typical 3 bedroom ranch. This unique property sits on approximately 3 acres and has a spacious great room with vaulted ceiling and hand hewn beams, huge fireplace, and lots of windows overlooking a beautiful view of the pond. Almost 3000 square feet make up this vintage farm home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, wood floors, great country kitchen, and main floor laundry. So much to see and appreciate! Sellers love the location. Close to shopping, easy access to highway, and near Sonoma Elementary School in popular Harper Creek Schools. They have loved the views and charm of this home!
