This charming farmhouse blends the timeless character of yesteryear with the inviting comfort of country living. From the covered front porch, take in the peaceful view of the long, tree-lined drive framed by a classic split-rail fence and a beautifully level front yard. The majestic front-yard tree—standing proudly through generations—adds a sense of history and story to the property. Inside, you’ll find a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home filled with warmth and personality. An upstairs flex space offers endless possibilities: create an additional bedroom, cozy den, playroom, home office, or private retreat—whatever suits your lifestyle. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the porch or unwinding after a long day, this property offers a quiet sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle, while still feeling connected to the charm of the surrounding area.

This Old Farmhouse is in need of A LOT of WORK!!! In its day it was a beauty! If you love the charm of a farmhouse & are up for a project, this may be the one for you! It will need extensive repairs. Being sold AS-IS! The main level features a living room, dining room, kitchen, primary bedroom, secondary bedroom and a full bathroom. The upper level is partially finished. It was closed off from the lower level many years ago. It could function as an upstairs apartment or possibly opened back up to the lower level. A large portion of it is unfinished. The previous owner used it as a workshop. Framing is already in place to finish into bedrooms, a bathroom, and more. The house is located on a beautiful large level 2 acre lot. Must use extreme caution when entering the property! No repairs will be made. The floor system has dropped in different areas on the main level.
