A very rare, beautiful, 3.21 acre farm in the Locust community. The mid-century home was completely renovated and updated in 2018 with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, whole house generator and much more, please see the attached detailed list of modernizations. As a result it is now a modern, literally like new, 3 bedroom home with 2 full baths. The primary bedroom/bath suite is large with a doorless tile and glass shower. Add to this a screened-in front porch, a deck and plenty of land and farm buildings already in place. For leisure a Swimming/Spa with a raised deck and sundeck is just steps from the main house. Many appliances are included with this home making it literally move in ready with few additions needed. The grounds include a fenced, pastured front, back and side area, a vintage 46ft. X 36ft. tin sided six-stall barn with a hay loft, in great condition. Once a producing farm, a block/concrete workshop remains very solid. An early 1900's or late 1800's wooden shop also remains from former farm days.
