Classic brick farmhouse set on just under 6 acres, offering privacy, charm, and endless potential. Per MLS guidelines, the home is listed as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath due to the upstairs ceiling height of approximately 6’5”, which falls just below the 7-foot requirement for heated living area. However, the upper level features a full bath, ample closet space, and two additional flex rooms that provide great functionality that is heated and cooled. The main level includes a comfortable living room, primary bedroom with direct access to the full bath, and a secondary bedroom or ideal office/study. The bright, open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, and flows into a separate dining area. A dedicated laundry space adds convenience. There is also potential for oak hardwood flooring beneath the existing carpet. The true highlight of this property is the nearly 6 acres of beautiful, mostly flat land, adorned with mature trees and offering a peaceful, private setting with limitless possibilities. There is a very large workshop storage area with power located on the property.

RA
Rural Agricultural
This district is developed to provide for a minimum level of land use regulations appropriate for outlying areas of the county. These outlying areas typically consist of rural single-family housing, larger tracts of land used for agricultural purposes, and instances of nonresidential uses intermingled. Multifamily uses are discouraged in this district. This district would provide for protection from the most intensive land uses while containing provisions for a variety of home-based business opportunities and other nonresidential uses deemed appropriate through a special use permit process. It is the intent of this district to rely upon development standards to protect residences from potential adverse impacts of allowed nonresidential uses. The most intensive land uses would not be allowed in this district.
