Charming slice of Magnolia history! Originally built 53 years ago, by Bo Rickett, for his family, this 4.71 acres has literally gone from remote acreage, to being surrounded by much growth, including a lovely wedding venue across the street, The Meekermark. This unrestricted property offers a sprawling 1-story home, along w/ several outbuildings; a barn, storage building, guest house (in need of much TLC), & old potting shed (also in need of TLC, but loaded w/ character!). Home boasts massive sized rooms, which include a craft room (the study in room measurements here); formal dining; den w/ wood beams, wood burning fireplace, and a retro wet bar (extra room); breakfast bar w/ built-in storage; kitchen nestled between DR & breakfast; children's 'wing, ' complete w/ game room, & 2 bedrooms w/ hollywood baths between each bedroom on each side of hallway, & a phone booth (folding door); primary suite apart from children's area. Roof replaced in 2019. Great property for assisted living!
