The acreage, confirmed by survey, consists of a spacious yard, cropland, wooded acreage, and a stream/swamp boundary that provides natural beauty and privacy. Long frontage on a state-maintained road and scenic views of neighboring farms add to the property's appeal. The farmhouse, constructed circa 1925, contains approximately 1,528 square feet and features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, foyer, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, and utility room. An open front porch and screened rear porch provide great spaces to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Heating is provided by oil-fired forced-air circulator units and supplemental space heaters, while window A/C units provide cooling.
