SHORT SALE. Looking for an affordable country cottage where you can bring your Fixer Upper Farmhouse ideas to life? Located on 2+ acres in a scenic rural area just south of Padgett's Hill Road, this quaint home of 1476 sq ft was built in several phases: the oldest section, now a cozy family room, has thick walls that suggest it might be an old log cabin. A 1930s expansion provided kitchen/utility spaces, 2 small bedrooms, and a front porch. More recent additions include a front entry, large living room, and comfortable master suite; full-length rear deck; vinyl siding; central HVAC; gas fireplace; and insulated windows. Two vintage outbuildings provide space for storage, studios, or workshops. SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS; ANY/ALL INSPECTIONS TO BE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY & FOR INFO PURPOSES ONLY.
