Take a look at this traditional Juniata County farmhouse on 3 acres in historic Academia area. A popular site among locals and visitors alike, this property showcases pride of ownership and a life well lived. The main floor of the original structure currently hosts 2 cozy living areas , as well as 3 bedrooms upstairs and a half bath. A main level addition was added in the 90's to make room for remodels, particularly displayed in the expansive country kitchen. Real wood cabinetry and long counters line the walls, with a unique chefs island that blends cooking with a social experience. The addition also allowed for a main floor full bath, mudroom/laundry room, and a comfortable den, spacious enough to frame a 4th bedroom or change over to an expansive dining room. A partial basement has both interior and exterior access, complete with a deep freezer and canning shelves. Oil HWB runs throughout, along with an interior wood furnace room that can supplement OR provide heat/hot water full time. Attached 2 car carport. Private well and septic. 200 amp +sub panels. Outside you will find conveniences and a few nice surprises. A fenced yard allows pets to roam worry free, with easy access from the den inside. An detached, oversized garage boasts 3 bays- one of which is currently a craftsman shop, with propane overhead heater that stays. There is a two story mini barn that will transport you to the good old days of American woodworking , and has a 3 wall overhang outside, high enough for a tractor or boat. Further into the yard, the seasoned garden, blueberry bushes, apple and cherry trees are well known for providing tasty produce year after year. A small stream runs through the far side boundary, and an old shed marks the end of the property. If you're in the market for fresh country air, privacy, and a gem of a home with something for everyone, then this might be the one for you.
