The manageable 1.58 acres is perfect for homesteaders wanting space to garden and raise animals without excessive acreage. A powered gazebo overlooks the creek, while established garden plots, fruit trees, a workshop shed, and a chicken coop make self-sufficiency easier. This home blends historic charm with modern updates—schedule your showing today!
