Out back, a private pond creates the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or simply unwinding after a long day. The barn provides endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, animals, or a workshop, while the acreage offers plenty of space for gardening, recreation, or creating the mini-farm you've always dreamed about. Inside, you'll find all the character and warmth you'd expect from a traditional farmhouse, featuring a cozy living area, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a laundry room, and a flexible sunroom/den that's perfect for a home office, playroom, or additional living space.
