After a drive winding amongst lovely cherry orchards, you'll find this delightful farmhouse on 12.4 acres overflowing with vintage charm inside and out! With peek-a-boo views of Elk Lake from the covered wraparound porch along with a mix of open lawn graced with several gardens and a beautifully wooded southern portion with bicentennial hardwoods, the setting of this property is hard to beat!

Additional highlights include a walk-in pantry between the kitchen and the spacious laundry/mud room, updated bathrooms, a main floor primary bedroom with a private half bath, and a workshop in the basement.
