This old farmhouse has been spruced up on the outside and the inside with fresh paint. The kitchen is dated with vinyl flooring and laminate countertops. The rooms both upstairs and down are spacious with high ceilings and plenty of natural light....
Most of the house has hard wood which varies room to room from original wide plank to more recent narrower planked wood.
The bathrooms are older. The basement has clean white walls and freshly painted concrete floor.
The lot is large and beautiful and there are a number of outbuildings, most notably a pole barn with horse stalls that was built in 2000 and is in great shape. The house sits close to a busy road.
