Cute and quaint farmhouse on 2-1/2 acres w/above ground pool & tons of charm! Unique for a 1940s era home, it offers an open layout w/spacious living area, reading nook, dining room & kitchen. Rear hallway exits to screened porch w/lovely views. The main level primary suite is charming with fireplaces in the bedroom & bath plus a traditional clawfoot tub & shower. Two bedrooms on the upper level share a huge full bath w/plank tile floors & a view of its own. Another cozy sitting nook w/ductless minisplit HVAC for added comfort as well. The all wood interior comprised of wood floors, tongue & groove ceilings, plank walls & 5 panel wood doors all add to the home's rock solid feel. In the edge of the woods you’ll find a sweet little rock bridge and the perfect place for a KOI pond, as well as a small duck run! Sellers have installed solar panels recently. Very convenient location to 108 and 74 bypass.
