Welcome to this historic 1870 Farmhouse on almost 9 acres - A diamond in the Rough. Step back in time and discover the potential in this historic 19th-century farmhouse. Set on 8.9 partially wooded acres, this 3-bedroom, 1 . 5-bath homestead awaits your vision to restore it to its former glory. Original features include hand-hewn wooden beams, traditional farmhouse windows, and distinctive architectural details that capture the essence of its 1870 origins. ? While the home could benefit from some renovation, several crucial updates have already been completed: Roof and siding in 2019, Furnace and Hot Water tank in 2017, and some newer vinyl windows. The 8.9-acre parcel provides possibilities for livestock as the former owner owned horses. To the left of the home is a mature apple orchard with over 20 trees. A newer shed sits toward the rear of the yard. All that's needed is your vision and craftsmanship to transform this vintage beauty into a showstopper. Property is being sold as-is and owner will make no repairs. Interested parties are encouraged to schedule a viewing today before this homestead is gone! Contact your agent for more information or to schedule a private showing.
